Prison of love
My eyes lingered at her beauty
Her timeless gaze distilled through mine
A brief liaison swirls in silence
Unconscious longing never dies
This spider's web of solitude
A padded cell so destitute
This fatal curse within my soul
Imprisoned in the truth untold
Incarcerated dreams dissolve
In soft asylums glazed with gold
Just a phantom flame remains
Extinguished by Autumn rains
Her timeless gaze distilled through mine
A brief liaison swirls in silence
Unconscious longing never dies
This spider's web of solitude
A padded cell so destitute
This fatal curse within my soul
Imprisoned in the truth untold
Incarcerated dreams dissolve
In soft asylums glazed with gold
Just a phantom flame remains
Extinguished by Autumn rains

"Her timeless gaze distilled through mine", what a beautiful way to describe that connection. Love does not know time.
Great spill.

Sometimes two people just don't mix well. I wouldn't beat myself up over it, if it's meant to be it will be. Welcome!

You could seal the deal with "by Autumn rains" for the rhyming effect or "Autumn's rain".
I say this because that final "the" feels extraneous.
I say that because the rest of the poem is extremely well written with great word efficiency. Don't forget the contraction in "spider's".
Welcome back.

There is a lovely melancholy in this write, like the gentle patter of rain. Great harmony in the subtle rhyme.
It is difficult to part ways, I never knew a physical pain that lingered like that of the heart, but when we appreciate the lesson imparted in the time we've shared, it's purpose is realized. Namaste.

Melancholy is definitely a word that describes my nature. There appears to be an eternal dark cloud hovering over me.
I appreciate your comments and I look forward to writing more.
