Loves Shadow

Is not a man without love a speck of dust frivolously falling in a dream? As he blindly stares as malefic mirrors rust with no reflection to redeem His heart does yearn and may combust where love has lost its gleam The speck is swept in a gust thus forever falling into the infinite stream Whispers fall from sardonic sky as tears accumulate in the sclerosed sea Within the darkness we hear a cry as the sensorial sorrows beg to plea For in loves shadow a black hole does lie filled with dramaturgic debris We ask the question why love distraughtly departs from you and me.

Great poem - I love the first line, it has an almost biblical ring. And I enjoyed the rhyme and internal rhyme, well done.
