Singing, sighing, sinful, mournful life clandestine in dark woods.
Drunken, cloudy deep betrayal, trapped between could-not’s and should’s.
The choice before me and behind me, leading nowhere, erewhon.
Once loved, and lost, and loved-me-not; life like a feast of carrion.
A stain of light becomes a flame; binding, blazing, blinding; failing
Chained by her might, and darkling light, shreds of my soul lie quivering, wailing.
Yet in her tintinnabulation, she breathes the very life of me.
Therefore, I follow, willing slave; in victimless insanity.

Lovely and tragic. I love the assonance that runs though this piece in unexpected places. Great job.

Divine! Excellent vocab, beautifully wrought; I'm very picky about metre and the cadence here is extremely well done. I'm definitely looking forward to more postings from you.

My thanks, Julia. "What’s in a name? That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet" - W Shakespeare - Romeo & Juliet. My love, a rose, has thorns, and bits of bramble in her heart.
