FICTION

(Your chickens always come home to roost.) My soul cries out each time I see your face. My hunger for your love does not abate. Though I'm chagrined at how my pulses race desire burns and sucker bites the bait. You dangle me, a puppet on a chain, in shame, I dance around you like a flame. As turmoil reigns, my tears stream down like rain; raw wounds cut deep while you enjoy the game. But time will bring your chickens home to roost and future pill will be a bitter brine. Perhaps someday your heart will be seduced as you succumb to Casanova's line. For then will Lucifer raw fate assign, and my atonement taste like peace divine?

That saying is so sound Cona, chickens always come to roost... Sooner or later as they say. Well written tale in another sonnet format. Very sad story, sadly, many folks don't appreciate nice people or true love or both. That's life for you sometimes. Enjoyed the read my friend.:) love & light! xxxxx D.
