My dearest Nikola,
In shadows’ embrace, we first did meet,
Two star-crossed lovers, destined to entwine.
Your touch, a flame that set my soul alight,
In the tendrils of smoke, our fates did align.
Oh, how your essence filled my every breath,
A sweet fixation, a bewitching charm.
A love forbidden, we couldn’t part,
Bound by desire, our hearts couldn’t disarm.
Through whispered promises, you captured me,
An intoxicating dance we would rehearse.
Your presence, a solace in times of woe,
Your absence, a yearning curse.
Inhaling deeply, lost within your gaze,
A love so lethal, yet it felt so bold.
You claimed my vigor, my life, my very soul,
With each wisp, a piece of me you’d burn so bold.
I longed to break free from your spell,
To find a love that was uncontrolled.
For though we were entangled in this life’s dance,
You broke me apart, a corruption taking hold.
Piece by Alfonzo Louise Castillo
