There is a grand dance here, the tempering of the words used in the imagery is quite fine at times.
This has some good bones, and the intensity shows through.
The rhymes are a challenge, either they need to find a scheme both you and they can live with, or free them from this work.
Her sunflower mouth sprout and sprang, is an incredible success, and a powerful way to begin this piece. Proudly and stout portly corpulent, seems weak in its repetition of thought.
Though eternal bondage is an interesting way to end the piece, the three lines before it could be more robust, and "the making love bandit" is too 70's pop music cute to stand proud next to some of the excellent creations you have placed here.

Readers will get sucked it to it and once it breaks, they go, "wait, what the hell just happened?" So you pointing that out means I did what I sought out to do. Our minds; themselves, can moving on so smoothly and then something always seems to interrupt that flow of consciousness.
Confidence with arrogance, exactly the emotion coming to light and a reflection on paper. That’s what poetry is, thoughts coming to life as it is thought up in the mind. Dark and satisfying! Good job

An interesting question at the end. There is surely a sense of mystery and an unsolved case here. Something to surely think about. You ended the poem with an open ending, which made it intriguing. Glad you shared, and waiting to read more :)

Why thank you Guy, I'm stoked you found those goodies.
Insanity sang.
And here I came,
Chasing dementia...
A madness that yawned
Proudly and stout.
This poem pulled out of me a sigh of appreciation with the above lines. The way you flipped the switch is clever. At first I thought she was the dangerous one, but the love bandit proves me wrong. You capture the dangers of love well. Kudos

I guess we, her and I, both have our own dangers. That's what pulls us together in one sense, and I love it.
Photo and words are amazing.
"I'm the making love bandit.
But you you love this..."
You gave life to the photo and I liked the above words. Sometime we land in odd and safe places. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Good to be a painter of words and you are welcome.
I have no idea what happened in this piece. But, part of me feels that it's a cute little piece meant for someone special. I think you did a really good job though. My only suggestion of change would be for the line that says, "I'm the making love bandit" I think you should swap the words "Making love" so it reads, "love making". That's just my thoughts. I feel that would make the line flow better.
