Five Letter Words

Often women dream about famed lover sweet
While stars shine above mused quiet meets
Coded notes given neath party arbor
Eager hands which cause fresh ardor
These alter truth while love's fight wanes
Breed venom, fuels anger, solid bonds drain
Rings' blest oaths rival heavy chain
Death comes swift where wrong ideas start
False charm tears unity apart
After dawns first light sleep ought cease 
Madam casts aside bogus scene; finds peace

You surely are one to take up challenges, Shadow. I've been away for some time from here as I was sick for a week, then traveled to be with my daughter, then got back to give in grades, start a new semester, and I'm just dipping my toes back in the poetry pool again, but...WOW! I don't know if I'd be ready to take on challenges like you. Flipping hard or not...you did well! :) Congrats! Hugs
