A Dream and Infidelity

A Dream And Infidelity


                           His eyes inundated with tears implore her
                           kind reconsideration
                           Blunders turned her expectations to chaos
                           optimism is lost not found
                           Haste to judgement had painted a portrait
                           of a dark scene of epic proportion
                           Wishes to endlessly live, her love merging
                           with his...a dream banished underground.


                           Love is mere illusion to those who deny its
                           power and authenticity
                           When unjustly treated it strikes like an asp
                           guarding its hallowed mound
                           Time runs out while he struggled to invoke
                           desire and beg for undeserved mercy
                           Hopelessness held two broken hearts apart
                           buried in the abyss...with wounds profound.

Love is mere illusion to those who deny its power and authenticity. Great words, the fulcrum of your poem. And I liked the emotions (even if at times sad).

When infidelity creeps into marriage or any man woman relationship, its foundation gets bitterly shaken and its hinges, loose. Love when unjustly treated can strike like an asp.... so true ! Your poems are power packed and full of emotional intensity... Ansemo!

You're right Valsa, and the most difficult of all, is to rejuvenate two hearts who have already drifted far apart. Thanks for your insight, as always!...ab

Enough to make a grown man cry, Anselmo. Moving poesy here, plumbing the depths of emotion. Huzzah! ~ Gershon

Thanks, Gershon. We're both lucky to have not experienced such depth of despair...ab
