Love Gone Awry

Beneath smile exotic, gleaming moon’s delight,
We embraced romance of a passionate night,
Whispering deep secrets of moments sublime
Unveiling sweet story of undying-love in prime,

Of promises eternal, pledging together forever,
Journeying through life’s endearing endeavor,
Vowing to traverse through oceans of ardour
Eying abode amorous, vying tomorrow’s shore.

Alas! love soon turned errant, choosing to detour,
Straying from accords youthful, but immature,
Rejecting once enamored elation of evermore,
Opting bliss in yonder beyond passions of yore.

In solitude we bid goodbyes to love gone awry
Lamenting wistfulness frequenting pensive sigh
Saddened by bleak story, woefully incomplete,
When dissonant forlorn vibes, accepted defeat.

Yet, we found pathways renewing our dreams,
Reinvigorating assonance of past broken themes
As fervid interests, on divergent paths aligned,
Rewriting ending of story, destiny had designed.

Hosting moments solitary, as I often think of you,
Rekindling in your embrace, love we once knew,
Reminded I am, how memories have feelings too,
Though melodies they strum, no longer ring true.

Such sadness when lovers have grown apart, but hopefully, the sorrow of what might have been, is soon replaced by the joy of what is to be. A beautiful work, Vijay. :)

Ah young love, first love seldom lasts forever although at the time we think it will. The pain of losing that first love is awful at best but time wounds all heels and heals all wounds if we allow it to and we do in time find the love of our life. Great write my friend. Good luck in the contest. God Bless, JB

Vijay, your poetic creation is a profound testament to the intricacies of love and the weight of sorrow, forever etching memories within our souls. Your words possess a profound ability to evoke feelings within any heart. Love tragically unraveling stirs poignant recollections. Initially, it blossomed, as if the heavens themselves had converged upon the enamored souls. Please accept my sincere apologies for the brevity of my feedback, as my current sojourn restricts my internet access.

A love gone awry leaves painful memories. It was begun on a vibrant note.There was a time when Heaven seemed to have come down before the lovers. But through the rwist of fate, they had to part ways. Though there have been efforts to join the snapped ties, it couldn't be restored. "Though melodies they strum, no longer ring true." Great closing ! Beautiful.

"Hosting moments solitary, as I often think of you, Rekindling in your embrace, love we once knew, Reminded I am, how memories have feelings too, Though melodies they strum, no longer ring true." -- we cope by recalling the good. Sincere and heartfelt poetry. Excellent!
