Love Poem: In the Mist

In the Mist

Butterfly whims
As I think only of him
The rapture of his undying charms
Choking back the tears while cradled in his arms

Swallowing the fears, upon Locus’ wings
I fly, I flutter, coming apart at the seams
Anguished, all a fluster, my soul splits in two
I ponder upon which side I should choose

All this wishful thinking, my will succumbs
Bitterness, wastefulness, I am undone
Thinking, shrinking, in the love of you
Just a little love, a little hope, I come unglued

Confused, disoriented, I am amiss a great change
Warped dimensions, within this madness I remain
Happiness disarming
A vortex with few encounter truths
Incinerated, scorching fires, a make up of hidden rules

A dark angel, the shadow of light
His kisses, his heart, he will not be denied
Wistfulness, betrayal, sucking me in 
Void, this empty space, the black corners of sin

Reign over this soul distant, jaded
Will I not find my heart?
Now, before it tears the both of us apart
Surreal, unfortunate, late in the game
That I should awaken of the past
Before I cause more pain

Treacherous copies of the self
Torturous heart falls into this self made hell
Once deprived of love, now received
Held captive as I fail to believe

Wavering, an innocent heart torn
Nothing lost, reborn, in a haze I mourn
Devastated, my mind devoured, I break into tears
All for the love of him…  My life, my essence
I vanish into thin air. UNSUPPORTED CODE
