Blues In White

Dressed in white, she looked so refined,
Then I got a text, from who, was undefined,
Message opened eyes, and was well timed,
As I searched the vacuums of my mind,
An emptied cranium is all I would find,
'Tis words to spew as I have an axe to grind,
Of a sordid brief affair where love was blind,
As lies beget lies, for she was one of a kind,
For she had a lover, though she declined,
Says she loved me in soft repeats, to remind,
But at that point, I was far too resigned,
My vagrant mouth said words that maligned,
Every name in the book, for I was unkind,
Then I took a breath, so that I would unwind,
Laid my ring on a book, that was left unsigned,
As she stood by the altar, leaving her behind,
For 'twas our wedding day, I have just outlined.

Christuraj Alex March 18, 2022 at 8:51 PM "she had a lover, though she declined","she stood by the altar, leaving her behind" - Great on infidelity. Yet, very realistically penned. Congratulations. William Kelii Kekaula March 18, 2022 at 9:18 PM A poignant tale I had weaved sometime ago on the said subject (infidelity), Christuraj, I appreciate your highlights and your shared thoughts my friend, Aloha~William

Panagiota Romios May 21, 2019 at 1:03 PM Poets too afraid too comment honestly? not me.. I am a bit dense in the head at times, for sure and willing to say so. I wasn't sure if you married her or not. I like the plot behind this, but failed to get what happened. You can Soupmail me if you choose. If not, that's ok too Panagiota L Milton Hankins March 18, 2022 at 2:27 PM Pangie, if you would unblock me, I'd be most happy to explain the poem, as I believe I understand it. Obviously her husband-to-be learned some things he wasn't aware of during the wedding planning. William Kelii Kekaula May 21, 2019 at 4:03 PM A marriage that was not meant to be, of a secret affair revealed by a jilted lover to her groom, who has returned to a bachelor's paradise. Soup mail, unnecessary, as perhaps others may be on a similar boat Panagiota, as ambiguity of the vast interpretations of tethered words by one lies in the realm of a subjective nature, Aloha wk
