Poem
Love and comfort cannot be partners Complacency dissolves respect Sneaky activity, entity disheartened Three component splinter defect They married within protective faith Full of future decades' radiance Charles' charms by ladies repaid Ego combed by pretty audience As fate will travel the cheater's tale Soiling sheets too close to home Mildred's loyal fresh heart impaled By horror of rotten frolicking known Vigourous mother of two preschool boys Revelation staggered her function Cut dangerously open by Charles' ploys Cast remote was gusto's gumption Damaged duo pursued longevity Mildred continued with hesitance She permitted fine faced snug family Undeniably tainted by new tenuous He declared undying love for Mildred Doubled display of romantic regalia But love as they'd felt, not rekindered After influence of amorous strangers Her energy failed in wake of treachery Charles startled grateful state enthused him Flourished material assistance eagerly Upset trajectory, wife's affection refused him She once was fluid flower pleasant His thorn tore natural pairing apart Mildred's wooden stem, failed reverence Commitment couldn't penetrate her heart Charles' grovelling replaced love resuming Altitude diminished despite effort Shared habitat couldn't restore their union Registered sin slices status, trust bereft 10th July 2020 Written for Competition: Flower or Thorn Sponsored by: Chantelle Anne Cooke
