Cheaters

Beauty
Of love
Can be that of the Rose,
Yet root bound labyrinth
Foot prints
Walking
Away.

Deluge
Of joy
A tearful expression,
Yet a lover’s question
When seen
Best friend
No more.

Inhales
Shadows
As moonlight penetrates,
Silhouettes together
Lost love
Warm heart
Goes cold.

'Beauty of love can be that of a Rose' yet when it moves to a 'Lost love warm heart goes cold" it is heartbreaking. Very well penned Harry, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

When you offer your very best to someone in trust and love and it is not returned it hurts. After awhile the heart is tired of being broken and just stops caring. Well done my friend. God Bless, JB

Every stanza is an emotive poem. Love is such a complex emotion. Expertly portrayed, Harry
