Richard Lamoureux Poet Terzanelle

Imbued With a Lovely Light

Within her darkness I found my place.
I was betrayed by a lover's kiss.
Lost in beauty and a lovely face.

Was I searching for a land of bliss?
Sometimes a heart can be truly blind.
I was betrayed by a lover's kiss!

Searching for something I couldn't find.
I imbued her with a lovely light.
Sometimes a heart can be truly blind.

My heart sank instead of taking flight.
A lightness of spirit flew away.
I imbued her with a lovely light.

Why in the world did I think she'd stay?
What I imagined was never real.
A lightness of spirit flew away.

We think we control the way we feel.
What I imagined was never real.
Within her darkness I found my place.
Lost in beauty and a lovely face.

Monterey Sirak March 9, 2014 at 5:04 AM When love and people don't meet our expectations, it enables us to grasp the wonder and appreciate the real love when we find it. Richard Lamoureux March 9, 2014 at 9:09 AM Yes and the love that we wished for helps us connect with our own humanity. Within that pain a heart can strengthen and expand beyond our innocence.

Charmaine Chircop March 5, 2014 at 6:42 AM To be blinded by the sun..a painful experience indeed..but after that scorching burn..How sweet the breeze that follows would feel.I really felt the verses in your poem Richard..cause I believe many of us experienced such deceit in life..onw time or another..Glad to read your splendid work.

Debbie Guzzi March 3, 2014 at 7:07 PM Nice use of form [we really can't judge by appearance ... it is a hard lesson!] Typo line 2 Richard [lover's] Light & Love Richard Lamoureux March 3, 2014 at 7:13 PM Thanks Debbie. I will correct the error.

Lovely piece.....I love the way terzanelle flows with you......Never nice to be betrayed by a kiss.....Sad sad sad......"Why did it have to be a friend who chose to betray the Lord, and what did he use a kiss to show them, that's not what a kiss is for" (Michael Card) Richard Lamoureux March 3, 2014 at 9:17 AM Thanks Eileen, I thought you might like this one. I tried a new form this morning, let me know what you think.
