Love Poem: Played Through Love

Played Through Love

Define love, explore it, and then show me in all the
leaps of life, every impediment thrown, battered away. 

Is it the temptation? I saw your eyes, caramel coated spice 
set on seduction, traversing up and down. 

You killed me then. Action states feelings – yours state nothing 
and should they? Could they? Never - not once in my belief. 

Chilled blood fuels my veins in this instance, oh the sweet 
corrupt shiver of your breath. Worthless on cyanosis lips. 

I know you tried pursuing then, reclaiming Love’s torn prizes, 
Oh prizes, I’ll never mean more than you mean to me.
