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 raging fire consumes your dignity, and shame put to slumber'. Powerful
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.
