"her Eye's Looked Out With Smiles of Love "

Her eye’s looked out with smiles of love 
That left my heart amazed.
In wooded graveyard high above
With Yew Trees we appraised.

We traced our roots that clawed the ground
In mind we felt the clay.
Of hearts and souls rose too profound
And toxins came our way.

In love the Yew’s are similar
So beautiful and true.
Beware the poison in their bark
That killed the dove that flew.

Wow, what a compelling story of love gone awry, David! Quite an intriguing scenario and so beautifully penned. Don't know how I missed it earlier, but it's a favorite now. Love, Carolyn

There is a certain darkness in your poem, David, like someone who was beguiled by "Eyes... with smiles of love", who feels having been fooled. The poem is very well written and rhymed. Keep writing.
