Desires Slow Death

Desires Slow Death

A Poem by Jazmen
"

For when I realized my long time love was who I'd rather be with, the Fantasy of another ended.

"

He stays in a castle in the air.
Through sunrise
I’m sleeping
Slackjawed
As he’s kissed by his sweet Goodbye and
away she dances a-mess and
tired
And he need not watch her
for he knows
her
splendor
by
heart.

I burst uncandidly
On our bellies
we lay
Desire-less.
Asleep
In love.
Apart.


Fiction
shrouding
Any
newfound
perfection
Ignored;
I slip quietly in through the castle door and

kiss him
on
his
lips    hello.

Hello, he says, with a heavenly
grin
Yet
My
utopia has not yet come.
meddled by his embrace
so different from him -
Then I retort..

I adore

laughter
vibrating
from
rib to rib
I kiss him again

A wraith in his arms
And nothing more.

With
The
History.
Still in the making.
-Humility we find-
And
Recoil
Our
Desires
through
The exultance of our
bittersweet lives
Weaved through

The
Madness.
That we
cannot evade

Buried

in
every
kind word
we say.

Sober we
talk
and riled we’d gotten
But this castle’s built
Strictly to keep
the dreams I’d
too
eagerly feed
more forgotten


Leaking grimness and I do not seethe


I did not dance
Like She.
Simply , I declare

I fell back wards
out the door
Into
A bed for me.
And an unclear
path of streets
That
Do not
intersect
with my
passing
of dreams.

Poignant evocation of the strangeness of desire's convolutions. A golden braid of epiphany's bliss oscillating w/the evanescence of dreams. It's as if Love Transcendent is playing peek-a-boo through changing forms. . .the object of desire & the Spirit behind the scenes do not always remain the same. This poem elicits great empathy for the travails of the human heart.

I'm not much of a critic when it comes to writing, and i dont know any big words to describe this poem with. In my honest opinion, the poem itself is really well put together and it is amazing sweet. You've got talent.

Sweet and lhaunting; no meaningless words. Free verse like this is hard to pull off; here you did it exquisitely!
