Love's Victim  In the hysteria of rescinded desire my heart refuses to wake it bleeds a beat of agony a victim of Cupid's mistake Begging of Venus compassion to make peace with destiny, even she cannot change God's will or bring truth to my fantasy Novel of unfinished love cruel chapter on this earth longing to caress your soul aching for rebirth Woe within this solitude prisoner of relentless hell taunted by lies of fairytales sinking in sorrow's spell 'Neath the quicksand of the moon poetry howls to the stars, I close my eyes and find you there lost in love's memoirs On the edge of madness... awaiting your return, your kiss of promise seduces me in the silence of nocturne I drown my dreams with wash of weep clinging to memory of charms you are stolen by forever awestruck within her arms My soul is filled with breath of stale held captive by fate's hand trapped in love's purgatory unending sorrow it commands By Melissa P.
