hey rob,
hope this is helpful

oh, muse that so inflames my loins,
what quandary raised, what plight ....meter felt a little off for me; perhaps my pronunciation of "quandary"?
ensued when we forever joined?
I lost myself in a sea of you,
as if my id had been purloined
by some intoxicating brew to
make our paths become conjoined. ...I would shift "to" to the start of this line. overall, like the tone of the piece so far. some of the images could be freshened I feel ("burning light"..."sea of you")

Oh tigress, queen of deepest night,
magnetic North, my thrilling ache,
what selflessness your heart invites.
You are the habit I'll never break.
Like heroin, a trembling need alights.
It shocks my every molecule awake, ...."molecule" didn't fit as well as your other words for me
burns every synapse it excites.
You are absinthe, and I partake. ....great play on "absinthe"/ "absent" with your "partake". overall, I think the stanza could benefit from finding ways to keep the flow continuing from line to line, rather than stopping ever time

For this, there should be recompense,
some gilded romance, not this fear, ...I haven't gotten that sense of "fear" you mention from the previous stanzas
not this blinded mirror, evidence
of selfness lost to one so cavalier.
You bend me to your iron will
with rules to which I must adhere,
but as of now, I've had my fill,
signed, your darling
mutineer.
enjoyed the read, but it does feel like it could be tightened
Written only for you to consider.
