Hooked

What was the lure, that storm That allured my faith to feel In darkness that alluring form That allures me there to kneel And yet I would believe The lores her eyes still tell Their lurid masks deceive Unveiling nothing in that well That deep place of her own pain The latency of misery That lures me back, and again To a shared page of history Hunger lures the soul to net Its wings in webs lying cold A damped heart cannot forget Lips soft tease like alluring gold.

I am rarely a fan of rhyming poetry, but this one really hit the mark for me. Not even a hint of "stretching" out the words' meanings to get them to rhyme. Well done.
