Richard Lamoureux Poet Rhyme

A Sense of Emptiness

Yes the crystal shattered
       It was empty so it never mattered 
            Saved for a wedding day
              Carefully put away
                 “Just you wait” she would say
                   But like her heart the pieces were scattered

                    She was a pretty girl
                   Smitten by a handsome devil named Earl
                Oh how he made her purr
            His chest hair soft as fur
       Sadly not just with her
To a swine you should never give a pearl           

He made her insides sing
       Yet it was only heartache he would bring
            He pretended his love
              was a gift from above
                 She thought she was his dove
                  But sadly there would be no wedding ring

                   Her breasts he did caress
                  after carefully removing her dress
                She had hoped to be blessed
             Only body caressed 
        Oh why was she impressed?
She desired Love but found emptiness

Muhammad Imtiaz March 3, 2018 at 5:50 AM Hi Richard , i sent you soup mail

Muhammad Imtiaz March 3, 2018 at 5:44 AM A poem with powerful meaning. Love is something higher than physical and body touch.......Love is a scared thing.... I like all the lines especially your ending note. Richard Lamoureux March 3, 2018 at 8:56 AM Thanks Muhammad.:0)

FJ Thomas January 25, 2018 at 9:08 AM An old and repeated tale; but never so beautifully. Strokes the heart and mind. Maybe ole Earl was the recipient of my Reaper poem's objective lol. Lovely as always Rick.

Poet Tacito January 15, 2018 at 1:28 PM This has some damn fine formatting, but MY GAWD what a piercing last line!

Emile Pinet January 12, 2018 at 9:17 AM Very powerful emotions are allowed to burn their way through your thoughts and smolder within our heart. Despair and longing join ranks and pull the reader along a dark tunnel of hopelessness. Emile. Richard Lamoureux January 12, 2018 at 9:45 AM Thanks for your thoughtful comment Emile.

Carole Duet January 11, 2018 at 12:07 AM This is so great, Richard, and the "shape" of it is a scream! So clever you are. Your poetry seems to have such a comical bent to it. My grandfather used to write the same way. Loved it and definitely another fav for me. Carole :D Richard Lamoureux January 11, 2018 at 8:39 AM You are kind Carol.

Eve Roper January 10, 2018 at 9:37 PM Brenda is right, man clear the hair now a days. Nice write , Richard, enjoyed reading. Hugs Eve Richard Lamoureux January 11, 2018 at 8:27 AM Thanks Eve.

Chris Hagy January 7, 2018 at 2:54 PM I am simply impressed with the "art" or shape of this write!... and hearts certainly do shatter like glass sometimes. Good thing that unlike the crystal, hearts can be mended :) Have a good one Richard Lamoureux January 8, 2018 at 11:19 AM Ha ha, thanks Chris.
