Haunted Yearning

How sinister (of the left) the heart of man (male;posessor of phallus),
The darkest, most woeful longings swimming (metaphor, better: writhing) half-hazedly,
In the darkened twilight between mind and loins.
The aching throb of unfinished conversations,
Partially imagined tauntings with partially real yet ambiguous meaning,
The internal gyrations masked before an opaque humor,
The joyous terror of verbal (alas the mouth!) caress,
The tremulous, poignant moments before victory (pyrrhic) or defeat (agonizing, tantalizing),
A graying corpse, kept (imprisoned) on a burning pyre of youthful vibrance.
