Poem Title:
Poem
my tear ducts opened like the Niagara Falls I longed for solitude yet I felt so lonely I could not help but hope for her call The home in my heart is for her only The first time we met, she was a seraph in red dress Her innocent beauty epitomized God’s creative prowess I gave not a hoot if she was the devil’s mistress She had to be mine or I’d live in perpetual distress Her dulcet voice would make a nightingale green My heart took six beats off, in true admiration When she accepted to forever be my queen I became overwhelmed with a million emotions I spared no effort to bring her comfort In turn I got from her unimaginable bliss When she accepted my proposal at the seaside resort I was in heaven throughout the ensuing kiss I went to finalize arrangements with my intended best man Only to find him beneath the sheets with my Venus Unabashedly with expression deadpan She said it was over between us I sought for reasons and got none Mustering the courage to let both traitors be I turned to walk away but she wasn’t done She flung her engagement ring back at me Hardly had I left when the fondling resumed Insomnia was my nightly companion even after sedatives Several bottles later, I was still consumed With a marrow deep pain that made me hate to live So deep was the wound that it festered with time Every new day brought with it additional pain Even after my sojourn to a different clime My resolve to get over her were all in vain Still my teardrops fall like heaven’s rain For all her faults, I still longed for her Without her life will be an unending pain But my happiest moments were spent with her.
