Imbued With a Lovely Light

Within her darkness I found my place. I was betrayed by a lover's kiss. Lost in beauty and a lovely face. Was I searching for a land of bliss? Sometimes a heart can be truly blind. I was betrayed by a lover's kiss! Searching for something I couldn't find. I imbued her with a lovely light. Sometimes a heart can be truly blind. My heart sank instead of taking flight. A lightness of spirit flew away. I imbued her with a lovely light. Why in the world did I think she'd stay? What I imagined was never real. A lightness of spirit flew away. We think we control the way we feel. What I imagined was never real. Within her darkness I found my place. Lost in beauty and a lovely face.

When love and people don't meet our expectations, it enables us to grasp the wonder and appreciate the real love when we find it.

Yes and the love that we wished for helps us connect with our own humanity. Within that pain a heart can strengthen and expand beyond our innocence.

To be blinded by the sun..a painful experience indeed..but after that scorching burn..How sweet the breeze that follows would feel.I really felt the verses in your poem Richard..cause I believe many of us experienced such deceit in life..onw time or another..Glad to read your splendid work.

Having someone truly love you, for who you really are, is a wonderful feeling! These words came straight from the heart. You wrote a wonderful poem here, Richard! :)

Nice use of form [we really can't judge by appearance ... it is a hard lesson!] Typo line 2 Richard [lover's] Light & Love

:) A terzanelle.......Hi, Richard...You know what I'm going to write....so...should I? Lovely piece.....I love the way terzanelle flows with you......Never nice to be betrayed by a kiss.....Sad sad sad......"Why did it have to be a friend who chose to betray the Lord, and what did he use a kiss to show them, that's not what a kiss is for" (Michael Card)
