Celeste Nightingal Poet Rhyme

Illicit Passion

She was a woman of beauty and grace
With a heart that longed for a lover's embrace
Her marriage was dull and devoid of desire
But a new flame ignited a passion that was dire

He was a man of power and charm
With eyes that sparkled with a dangerous alarm
Their affair was a secret, a forbidden delight
A love that burned with a passion so bright

She found in him what her husband lacked
A passion that filled her with a love so intact
Their stolen moments were like a dream
A love that was pure, or so it seemed

But the truth would soon come to light
A betrayal that shattered her with all its might
Her husband discovered her infidelity
A discovery that would end in tragedy

Her lover was gone, her heart torn apart
A love that was pure was now a painful remark
Her marriage was over, her life in despair
A love that was lost, beyond any repair

She learned too late that love can be a curse
A passion that consumes and leaves nothing but hurt
Her heart was broken, her soul in pain
A love that was lost, forever in vain.

Paul Bell April 8, 2023 at 1:36 AM Love sure can be a poisoned chalice. Always felt the words. (I DO, at weddings, really meant.) I do intend to cheat if you don't satisfy my lust, desires, and expensive handbags. Celeste Nightingal April 8, 2023 at 10:20 AM Thank you so much for taking the time to read and appreciate my poem. I'm so glad that it spoke to you and resonated with your own experiences. Writing about forbidden love and its consequences is always a challenge, but I'm grateful that my words were able to evoke such powerful emotions. Thank you again for your support.
