Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Sonnet

Cool Withdrawal From Love

Cool withdrawal from love

Do not think that I love you less
Than when at your mercy I lay
But to forestall the sad distress
Of forlorn love, I keep away.

Pipe dreaming for everything
Which I have known to be your traits
Your image to my fancy bring
And  makes my age-old wounds to spate

But I do swear, and never must,
Your self-dispelled man, trouble you
In case I break, you may distrust
The oath I took to love you, too.

I have withdrawn myself from love
To make both of us safe, my dove.

Robin Davis September 26, 2014 at 7:30 AM Dr. Ram A sadly passionate write that shows if you care about someone, sometimes you have to let them go to protect them from hurt. Thank you for the nice comment on my Two's Of Love poem

Kelly Deschler September 26, 2014 at 12:14 AM I think it is better to walk away from love than to continue in a relationship that will end in heartbreak.... A very well written sonnet, Dr. Ram. Good luck in Giorgio's contest!
