I SAW YOU LAST NIGHT

YOU LOOKED LIKE THE FLAMES OF HELL

And my shell splintered

Broke wide open

Exposing my tender flesh

Just for you

.

I ache to touch you

To caress you

To hold your sword

And fall upon it

.

But you don't see me

You look right past me

The battle's over

And you have won it

The final lines, where you are unseen despite your eros sacrifice, are haunting and powerful, the sorrows of unreturned love!

Unreturned love? He's a fantasy...so, yes and no...lol.
Thanks, Costa Siwale, for your input.

Eternity,
See what I mean? Your poetry is like one of those old jeweled daggers... beautiful all the way through and dangerous to play with...

@Vol, yeah, I'm playing...He looks just like D'artanan, doncha think? Very handsome...But nothing like you, Boss. YOU are the mold of which all men should be poured...except for that one little blip...Just kidding. It's your life. It's what makes you. I love it.
