A Love Resealed (Poem To the Painting "automat")

Sadness has come to steal

The moment that time has to reveal;

Until life becomes gradually futile

With depression that creates a nil.

Words have made one to feel

The love that has long been sealed,

But the risk has brought an ill

Response that almost killed…

Oh, heart that made love to spill

Over a gift from uphill;

Mistakes that never dominate what’s real,

Yet dilemma has allowed this to happen still.

Perchance hope never will

Give chance to a dying steel;

What fate could it ever deal?

Nothing but sorrow for the love resealed.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
