The Love Curse

with every blink of an eye
her indigo eyes
it radiates in me ardent ardor.
he forgot my warm sun
in his vessel as a star of love
in those fluxes of his tribulations.
i was at his side
as a lifeline
to keep her from drowning,
stuck in the sand
of his veiled indifference.
unaware it’s you, secret rose
of my imperishable passion.
in the sunset, the mighty fire
of every season of the heart
in these my wrinkles,
he talks about you and your perfume.
marked I, with broken wings,
i drag on the carpet of torment
as a breathless condemnation
between the bloody spines
that I inflict on myself for you
whenever I choose to love you.
