Inexplicable urges and feelings drive me,
they cannot be explained, they just seem to be.
And I know by some innate sense,
inbeded far down in me,
that I can call this 'right'.
There is deeper knowledge flowing here,
some subconscious judgement has decided upon you,
for reasons I cannot wholly fathom.
But my instinctive and unreflecting hands will not be stopped from pulling you towards me with all my might.
Rational thought, I have left it behind,
but who wants the ties and shackles of logic,
when I can be swept away by this primal compulsion,
and become bound and twisted up in this enigma with you

This feeling is very hard for me to keep in control. I just love the words and images of poetry.

Death is not extinguishing the light;
it is putting out the lamp
because the dawn has come.

Wow, this is really amazing.  It had a really vivid emotional quality to it, yet it wasn't loaded with exagerations or hyperbole.
Well done.  Extremely well done.

This is nicely written.  I like the adjectives you employ, such as "instinctive and unreflecting hands."  It gave a good, non-visual alteration to the content of the poem.

Your closing is also quite good.  I think "with you" is a bit predictable, but I understand if you'd rather not reword the last line.
