The kiss is not just silent
           it is nonexistent,
                     like the womb
                               of your love~
the barren wasteland
          of too hot or too cold,
                    emotional ups and downs,
                               the highs excruciating~
the lows bottomless,
          unlike the lowest level of hell,
                    no rebounding and ascending
                              to the ecstasy of the sublime~
only descent into the madness
          of your nightmare.

sounds like a rollercoaster of a relationship, perhaps even a toxic one. I liked the structure and feeling of this poem. I also like your poetic voice...wishing you a pleasant evening, Sara
