Love Lost Never Had

Flawed event-less, the muck to the mire
To the river crimson with lustful haze.
Suppressed desire flows like light, rapture to the gaze.
Fevered, clammy, tossing, turning
Lying restless on the floor.
Sorrow slips, through the cracks,
to come smashing through the door.

Famine parched, the scream to the cry,
to the path trampled in fits of rage.
Unrelenting fire, burns like ice, denial in a cage.
Calm, relaxed, watching, breathing,
Standing idle at the sash.
Anguish waits at beck and call
to come crashing  through the glass.

Hidden in a seamless world of delight and joy and glee
A fractured cloud of misery waits
to have its cake and thee,
to reveal as it sulks with company.
Ever growing spawned by fear, deathly silent in its' plea
Eating away at the sinews of faith,
despair awaits its' time to flea.

Akin to death, friend to evil, silent screaming in its' vain
Dissolving with trust the passion of the lust
Envy plies to its bane.
Passion and fire, burning desire, these monsters are not the same.
All too familiar, confusing just the same, betrayed by flesh.
What is there cannot be had, for surely this is no game.

[quinfinn]

this is a relentless assault on the senses, and smacks of surrealism to me... intense

[realmwriter]

Rather astute I must say. I way aiming for it to have a bit of a surreal quality to it. Thank you so much...!

This is a flame in the pan, a ghost in the shadows, an ocean without the sand, a catastrophobic lingering pain that relishes the dizzying heights of realisation!
Superb
