Desire without release is brutal.
It is a hunger, a longing, a yearning.
It is a constant ache.
It crucifies nights and tortures days. It distracts, confuses, and leaves the senses shredded. It makes concentration challenging and application impossible.
It steals rational thought.
It refuses to allow peace.
It makes every moment urgent, every second restless.
It fidgets with time. It is pure torment.
Desire without release is brutal.
But relief, when it comes, is heaven.

The timing within your poetry is impeccable. The pace every bit as stirring as the words.

So distracting. So brutal. It’s like pleasure mixed with pain in itself. The poem, too.
