Emile Pinet Poet Rhyme

A Human Flaw

Disheartened by the persistent rain,
the sun has fled; only clouds remain.
And tears encompass both time and space;
as they fall within my hurting place.

Nature can't console betrayal's pain:
unconcerned that my trust was in vain.
Seasons come and go, yet naught has changed,
the scenery just got rearranged.

Twinkling stars, shining so far away,
still confetti Night with specks of day.
And when I recall how love once felt;
I regret playing the cards fate dealt.

A distraught Moon chases Mars from view:
accusing him of making me blue.
And the wind blows, calling out her name,
while the leaves sigh, whispering the same.

My Angel's heart had a human flaw:
and love fell victim to Murphy's law.
For another man now has her heart;
while mine lies broken, falling apart.

Lynn Marie April 11, 2017 at 10:29 AM The devastation of betrayal is deeply felt in your beautiful words Emile. The shattering effect so vividly descriptive with the last verse absolutely gut wrenching. Incredibly sad, wonderfully penned. blessings xxx Emile Pinet April 11, 2017 at 12:07 PM Thank you so much Lynn, for your wonderful review and support... your comments are welcomed and appreciated.

Paul Callus April 11, 2017 at 9:41 AM Betrayal takes its toll and the heart suffers. You express such feelings with an able pen, Emile. Somehow you got me humming Jimi Hendrix's song..."The Wind Cries Mary"! #7 Regards // paul Emile Pinet April 11, 2017 at 9:57 AM Thank you so much Paul, your comments are always welcome my friend, and truly appreciated. Emile.

Maria Williams April 11, 2017 at 8:38 AM A beautifully descriptive picture that you've painted in your poem Emile that deserves a 7+++. Just a thought - A person touches another's life even briefly for a reason and may move on. In that time each enriches the other in some way. Emile Pinet April 11, 2017 at 9:23 AM Thanks so much Maria, I appreciate your comments and support, Emile.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart April 10, 2017 at 7:48 PM Ouch. Well penned Emile. 7 xomo Emile Pinet April 11, 2017 at 9:21 AM Thanks Maureen, I appreciate your support, Emile.

Judy Ball April 10, 2017 at 5:12 PM Ah the age old curse of choosing the wrong one. I know it's a cliche but no one can take her from you if she was really yours in the first place. Betrayal hurts but only for as long as you allow it to. Chalk it up to bitter experience and move on just as she did. Remember they neither know nor do they care about you any longer. Do the same with their memory. A beautiful and poignant piece. Well done. God Bless and a big 7 from me. JB Emile Pinet April 10, 2017 at 7:17 PM Thank you Judy, for taking the time and care to give me this wonderful review, Emile.

John Hamilton April 10, 2017 at 4:22 PM I've mentioned it to you before but this poem reminds me how devastating betrayal is to someones self worth. Been there done that and this reminds me of a distant memory and all the pain. Well done! Emile Pinet April 10, 2017 at 7:16 PM Thank you so much John, for your wonderful review and support... as always your comments are welcomed and appreciated. Emile.

Carolyn Devonshire April 10, 2017 at 11:31 AM As a person who rarely feels anger, I know first-hand that betrayal generates a strong emotional response. The way you describe it here is right on target. Also, it is very difficult to move forward after suffering from the betrayal of a loved one. A deeply emotional poem to which many people can relate, Emile. Excellent! Emile Pinet April 10, 2017 at 1:18 PM Thank you so much Carolyn, for taking the time and care to give me this truly wonderful review, Emile.
