Your poem is as mysterious as crop circles and the nature of you and your lover's deceit. My curiosity is rampant in response. I read the poem over and over to scratch the itch until it stretches me into an eternal sensibility without sense.

You keep writing stuff that I enjoy the hell out of, this one it no exception. One suggestion though, to me the third to last and second to last lines don't read as well as the rest of the poem. I think if you remove the word from from the 3rd to last line and to from the second to last line it might read better. Just a suggestion, on the other hand I could be totally full of it.
