Belonging to desires of every flesh
Weaving dreams of your attention
Into a perfect mesh
Not once did you look my way
As my gaze of amazement
Set my pride affray
Temptation leans on my spine
Leaving me the burden
Of idle time
And a mind of pure catastrophic
Self indulged fantasies
As my profit
I give way to every glimpse
As I sit amidst a dream
Of your occasional appearances
A beauty rare and able to divide
The natural and spiritual worlds
As embedded in our minds
At night as I pray in my room
On a cold wooden floor
Longing for you
I swear a reckless life lived
To achieve the inevitable halt
And eternal sleep it gives
In hope that the afterlife will embrace
My soul and grant me one last look
At your pretty face

"and a mind of pure catastrophic
self-indulged fantasies

my favorite line. Such yearning here, sadness for a love lost...and a bit twisted...but I liked it. -
I like it! Great work!!

A magnificent poem!
I love this poem.
The lines speak with such elegant sincerity... they are filled with truth and heart. 
I do really admire your talent, fine Sir. The "cold wooden floor," "eternal sleep," "embrace my soul," "longing for you" and then the simplicity of "your pretty face," inject the most wonderful emotion and images to your work. 
Glad to meet you and wish to be your friend, if you will allow that.
