  • the lust is lost, the urge is gone
    which at core had taken hold so strong.
    not indulged but neither repressed:
    subtly sublimated?  given a rest?
    like  a hunger fast began
    with starvation’s accompanying torture,
    but beyond  a sufferance of days
    evolving into  desireless forfeiture,
    so the ache for sex surceases,
    and in a forest of otherwise dark desires
    seems but a bright haze burning…
    then burnt-off by an inner solar fire.
    tis no loss: the fairest appear
    even more vibrant now and
    unabashed with splendor abounding.
    all beyond that urge
    that was huddling darkly,
    and confounding.
