This is our last embrace.
Enough of our time has been
spent dreaming of a perfect
tomorrow.
Tiptoe gently over our many
memories and dreams that
have lost their path from your
heart. Only whisper any of
your doubts into her comforting
ears. The temptress that stole
our love.
Quickly walk the corridors
of gothic appearance. In the
mirrors your deceit blends into
your own reflection, somehow
no regret stirs within you.
Walk into your temptress's arms
and forever impart from my life.
My dreams are still intact.

I really love this poem

I really love this poem Beeme, especially the third stanza with its rich imagery. I just think it could benefit from slightly shorter sentences by changing some of your commas to full stops. For example, I would change the first stanza to:
'This is our last embrace.
Enough of our time has been
spent dreaming of a perfect
tomorrow.'
I just think it gives each word more meaning when the reader has time to pause ;)
But again, really good poem!

I think it definitely reads

I think it definitely reads better ;) Just to be annoying - I would put a comma here:
'In the
mirrors your deceit blends into
your own reflection, somehow
no regret stirs within you.'
You really do continue to improve Beeme so you should never doubt your work ;)

Magic is right, Beeme. You really do write well and getting better and better.
These are my favourite lines:-
"...your deceit blends into
your own reflection, somehow
no regret stirs within you."
Very well done;-)
