Actions Speak Louder Than Words

In the blink of an eye and remorse far away Your wavering heart blistered away my loving years Your verbal pleasantries seem to mock Your artful facade with a serpentine sting In the beatific moments your need was me We spent lucid loving hours spent at comfortable ease New beginnings became easy with me to shield You climbed my inherited ladders in splendid guise I spruced the hearth and kept it warm with crystalline cheer Your eyes, I fear, I couldn't fathom as I tucked our babes to bed Now you fumble with your deceitful heart to temper me When unchartered hours were gambled away with a seductive lass Trust exploded in my rose quartz heart When I saw you two cooing by mere accident Your pitched frequency of dilly dallying No more resonates with my simplicity Our winsome fairy tale has ended And your wilful satiric tale has begun The charisma of ethereal love is poised on Drooling actions and not on banal promises March 31, 2016 Cliche 4- Actions Speak Louder Than Words Sponsor: Silent One

You chose the same cliche as I did. I liked seeing how you did yours. Yours was very personal and I enjoyed reading it.

Just want to tell you it's hardly personal-pure fiction!
