Stephen Parker Poet Rhyme

Bridge To Fealty

Bartered memories with lust twined
Truant souls that could never bind
Carnal fancies solemnly pined
Exchanged for fealty and left behind
Hopes sacrificed; dreams resigned
Narcissistic bridges burned; amorous harbors mined
Walking along life's highway blind
Stumbled upon fertile path with opportunities lined
Fateful suitor my longing footsteps divined
Heart that was broken now realigned
Faithful partner with noble intentions my will refined
A succoring ally of the nurturing kind
Now carnal treasures canker in the dark; steadying rays of love 
have shined

Dr.Ram Mehta December 22, 2010 at 3:02 PM I am very much impressed the way your words flow with perfect natural rhyming, Stephen

Deb Radke December 22, 2010 at 8:44 AM Oh, how I love this poem! Especially the first four lines, but the whole poem is so good. And the way it written, with each line flowing into the next to tell the whole message, and what a message you tell. And the use of rhyme - this is not easy to do without becoming awkward at some point, but you have done it here. This is a favorite. Well done.

Deb Radke December 22, 2010 at 8:44 AM ps. thanks for reading my poem 'Deep Within' and for your comments. I appreciate it.
