last stanza: I believed that unless a person (usually a male I imagine, but it may not be so) has 'his' satisfied, the may result in a crime OR WORSE! ! [[e.g. murder or suicide]] five stars ***** bri : )

stanza 3, line 3: To what/who does 'which' refer? ? I guess you are referring to the 'elusive dream'. Yes, a dream of sexual which is not fulfilled. RATS! ! !

Certainly unrequited love and unrequited may both lead to TROUBLE for both the lover/'luster' and the loved/'lusted after'

I especially enjoy your: 'wayward twin of Love' I MEAN I enjoy your use fo the words, NOT the idea of engaging in LUST, though I have visited at times. 'Love' and 'Lust' can both be enjoyable AND 'dangerous'.

An excellent poem on "the wayward twin of Love" "The raging fire consumes your dignity" may our natures find true contentment.

Anyone who practices this act is devoid of manners and reason. An animal. He must seek professional help. Another brilliant work coined in a wonderful poem.

The concept of being viewed as a nightmare in infatuation's phoney bed is beautiful and devilish- beautiful poetry.

Mind drowning in bitter-sweetened sensation, Onto elusive dream you hold fast - Which vanishes like mirage in a vast Desert: A lethal blend of hope and anxiety.

Metaphor, simile and deep meanings written in high poetic language, makes thinkers and intellectuals review their behaviours and personalities very often, in the light of this poem might they will criticize themselves as well. You write few poems but the quality is excellent. congratulations. it goes into my fav list 10++
