Broken Love

Mind brooding I sit, shadows play upon the floor,
In turmoil comes, yet once more, scenes I so abhor.
Lingering memories,  the world turns as before,
yet love now gone with no desire to gain restore.

Her silken hair, eyes of blue, laughter to adore,
a touch so soft like morns breeze set my heart to soar.
Gowns satin, finest lace, and jewels in galore,
a smile so warm men swoon, her favor to implore.

Come early home there brought a sound I must explore,
two bound in loves embrace viewed through bed chamber door.
My eyes must lie, through tears a scene of sins amour,
my love, my very breath... deceiving wanton whore.

Eve Roper Date: 1/28/2017 8:19:00 AM Emotions of broken heart and betrayal , Robert, very well written. Login to Reply Robert Stoner Jr Date: 1/28/2017 8:44:00 AM Thank you Eve for the read and kind words of support on this piece. I found it interesting when a fellow replied of his own experience in this situation. A tone was touched tying reality to art. Facebook actually denied publication of this piece on inappropriate content, I appealed as it is art to no avail.

I love the feel of it being set in an ancient timeless period.
