Love Lost

When my eyes met his, Met his, for the first time I could discern a ray of incensed passion and love intense, so I thought, piercing gently my heart and filling it with true love, so I thought; so thinking, I surrendered myself to him, like a fool only to allow him to have all liberties with me and freely play the game of love, for I thought without doubting even a wee bit that he would remain, my man of love, and ever so till we live .............. Love's true devotee to one another But oh ! how will I, say that now he chided me today, for no reason or rhyme and in a fit of anger, said he loved me no more and left me, deserting me all at once; I remained in great shock thereafter God knows for how long, till I came to my sense to, realize that I was cheated by the very man whom I thought was Eros and me his Venus, All these thoughts suddenly vanished vanished into thin air And I lie here, under the tree I met him for the first time, writhing in pain inconsolable And now see the very ray of hope that he shot at me when our eyes first met, piercing my heart, shattering it, emptying it of the nectar of love I thought it poured in first. And I now remain emancipated from this love false realizing at last the meaning of true love from this experience so bitter bitten by pangs of false love and deceit of a man whom I reckoned wrongly was going to be my Eros in life. oh women harping love please beware of men who wander for lust wandering as foxes in the robe of deer.

A good message for the innocent at heart...It's not always what it appears to be...A reality of life...All the best
