I can see
The veil of confusion settles
Its reality,
I can see

Young, a little old
Intelligent, just a little bit
Happy giving heart
Free of distrust

The brightness of the sun
My sweating lips
Concentrate
Focus
Penetrate this wall of uncertainty
Do as I please
I will

Happiness pleasure moan comfortable bliss
I'm a free man, do as I please
Darling beauty
The sweetest woman
Gorgeous love affair

She's friendly charitable
quiet

I do and do for you
Given myself for you
Build a life for you
A promise too
Take and hold

Give

I feel it deep inside
Love carnal trust
The strongest take

In death she hurts me
A sleep now and forever
The teeth of Hell
The pain of giving
Every part
taken

Molten lake of fire
Gift of lady lust in a love affair
Burning hatered, singe my soul
Still giving death health insured
The lady with mechanical breath
Lengthy fingers of death
Pierced my soul
Gushing this emotional foreplay

Hurt like no one else
Slave to myself
Burning inside her forever
The screams of me in bloodless gold

experimental, it seems to be missing something.  Any suggestions?

i don't know if this takes away from the intention of the poem (or if you already added this and i missed it) but it could be improved i guess if you put something in sortove about how she died. ...that's all i can come up with right now, hope it helps, good job otherwise. =)

greeny-i think you got a good outline here for a really fantastic poem here. but you are hiding somethinf from the readers, it is hard to say what, the death is not really hidden but it is not really in focus i dont know if you wanted that the focus or not, but i enjoyed it, but i do think it needs some work, but hey, dosent all good lit.

I agree with the out of focus thing, but I don't necessarily see it as a downfall to the poem.  The lack of focus gives the poem a much more seperated/unique feel.
