A seductive savior
A sacrifice of pleasure
The taste of love to savor
Surrender of liberty the measure
Voluntary enslavement
Tortureous extascy
Self replacement
Angelic expectancy
Lacerated trust
Rotting word
Dreams of rust
So absurd

Nice phrase and metaphor. If we pretend we slid the last stanza to the top then the finish had a touch of optimism and the down and dirty start w lacerated and absurd sets a no nonsense tone ?
Your right Bobby that would put a different twist on it indeed. Thanks so much for the review and comment.
delusional fools tend to read our words
upside down
choosing to see what they want to see
while we strive
to deliver everything n anything
they may need of us
and so that disconnect, surreal
is imbued subtly, absurdly
within relationships
we once assumed
as that all-important, in our lives...
(i so relate, dear wise Poet
still, onwards
breath to step, till we learn
to forget, onwards
we can but strive, to survive)
Thanks L.B. your words serve to inspire and brighten the day. So appreciate your remarks
