Love Poem: Before It Becomes Such

Before It Becomes Such

A lustful obsession
Mistrustful connection
Sullied reflection
Imagined dream

In passion, seamed
A thought intertwined
Lost, enshrined
In a fanciful bliss

Romantic mist
The kiss of shattered
enchantments
Romantic’s blood
Frantic

Spill of scattered hopes
Battered ropes untwisted
Mind ballistic
A maddened heart, ablaze

A fire’s sparkling rage
Desire lost in plagues
Of fantasy unfilled
Magic’s backfiring

Tragic transpiring
Demise of hopes to love
Soured dove
Depleted of sweetness

Darkness sewn in obliqueness
An ocean’s drowning deepness
Chokehold of disparity
Disposed of clarity

Mineswept in the meadows
Of his heart
The unrequited spark
I must leave!!!
I must leave!!!

Before it all
Becomes such!!!
*Before It Becomes Such*
