You Were Never the One

[Dark Muse]

You Were Never the One

It was
raw animal
magnetism

Static electricity
which set off
a spark
of attraction
like synapses
firing

Undeniably
a pull is felt
caught within
charisma's
web

Enhanced
by rare
wisps
of tenderness

Small fires
still burn
a candle kept
not snuffed out

Still
drawn apart
our lives
would never
fit together
in completion
like
yin & yang

Primitive
wantings
of the body
invariably
suspended

Not quite lust
not enough love
but a friction
unfading
requiring
to be placed
aside

Never to break
into the light of day
but only to live
in passing
private
moments
of the mind.

This expresses some realities of course bitter realities that go inevitably in life and the poet vivified it marvelously.

The unadulterated truth that you provide for us is stunning in its presentation-- I especially loved the opening lines "It was/raw animal/magnetism".

Beautiful, DM, I don't understand how you do it, but you do it well.

[Dark Muse]

Thank you very much

Ah yes, a raw poem with not a word wasted about the raw animal inside of all of us.

Well done Dark Muse. I didn't know you could write poetry too.

[Dark Muse]

Thank you

I really like this one Muse, great job!

I love those last two stanzas. You really present a powerful truth about the relationship between instinctual attraction VS genuine connections and love. My only criticism would have to do with the inconsistency of the metaphoric imagery, but besides that it's a superb piece.
