From passion and lust to love
and so time weathers the ego
puffed up, inflated, by a fixation
on meaningless self-centeredness.

One train on the track carries no luck
to down the line mystical stations
where all abort human thought forms
like hope incinerated.

There in the fire my only desire
and need of your hand in mine
burning and spiraling up into air
and spreading my fear heavenward.

Tutored and taught I wish I had thought
to dispose of my love for you  
unrequited this side of the moon
before stepping out into light.

Light pierces my soul with memories untold
and slashes at my nakedness
and forever’s a long time to bleed
when blood’s merely a feeling in me!

Wow.  That was amazing.  I felt the love and the love lost in this poem.  I, too, have seen the upside of love only to realize that the downward spiral was close at hand.  I loved this poem on a very personal level.
