The rhymes go 1:5; 2:6; 3:7; 4:8 rather then the normal rhyming couplet approach..... but the duet at the end is traditional .. and the iambic pentameter rhythm is, i think, kept intact

i find that the absent is much more powerful then the present.....

and so this is to absence....

all criticism received gratefully....

Yes, it works very well indeed.

'hunger for the not' Did you mean to write that ?

No, leave out the quotation marks. They're ugly and detract from the meaning.
