Vince Suzadail Jr. Poet Couplet

Never Love Again

Sometimes I wonder if love is truth
The error of my ways in my youth
The price of love is too steep a toll
You give your heart. They take your soul
They say when love is on the wing
You can hear the bluebirds sing
Love can take away your breath
But then again, so can death
I’ll never answer love’s deceitful call
They build you up to watch you fall
Letter’s written with poisoned pen
I will never love again
On our knees for love we plead
Love arrives to watch us bleed
Nothing grows without the rain
The cost of love is undying pain
Trapped inside this lion’s den
I will never love again.

Charlene Bird May 11, 2009 at 2:18 PM This is just wonderful all the way through and although this poem is fictional, you speak so elegantly as if you had the experiece , the pain. Remarkable your words through this finely tuned piece of art!

Lena Townsend April 1, 2009 at 8:50 AM Great writing, it seemed so believeable until you said it was fiction, of course. Thank goodness your are not seeing real love this way. I love the "poison pen" that is an awesome touch. Good luck in the contest. Smiles from Lolita

Bianca Reyes April 1, 2009 at 4:00 AM "letters written with poisoned pen, I will never love again" I was gripped by these 2 lines. I very much like this poem. And I am very relieved that it is unreal. ~ Andrea Bianca Reyes

Anna-Marie Docherty March 31, 2009 at 3:04 AM Aaaaww this is such a sad write, it makes you want to reach out to the writer....Well done, very effective!!

Danielle White March 31, 2009 at 2:42 AM Wow, Vince, this is a beautiful poem. I'm glad it's fictional! This one's going into my faves. Good luck in the contest. *****Danielle******

Wilfredo Derequito March 30, 2009 at 10:31 PM Never love again, Vince? I can't say that about myself with certainty...especially if a gorgeous chick comes into view, then I act like a lovestruck teenager again, ha ha. Jest aside, this is well written and full of philosophical undertone, with smooth, unlabored rhyming. Reminds me so much of the old Nazareth/Everly Brothers song 'Love Hurts'. Very well done, Admiral. Fred

Laura Mckenzie March 30, 2009 at 6:39 PM Wow very deep in feeling and I felt your hurt Love is something we desire yet if it is not true it bites us hard! Great poem I love the flow Vince I wish you good luck in the contest! Laura :)

Sharon Winter March 30, 2009 at 4:23 PM You are so good, you have some of us fooled! This is truly excellent Vince, but I would expect nothing less. A winning poem. Good luck! Love, Shar

Carrie Richards March 30, 2009 at 3:51 PM Wow....cynical but fantastic poem for the contest! Glad you said "fictional"...and glad true love for you really doesn't seem so grim :) Great job, Vince!!

Sean Kelly March 30, 2009 at 11:01 AM Vince !! , you ole romantic Seadog , as only you can write them ..... Super line ; " But then again , so can death .... Brilliant !!! ..

Carolyn Devonshire March 30, 2009 at 10:32 AM I must agree with Christopher on finding love again, even when we have given up hope. It happened to me; it can happen to you. "Love can take away your breath But then again, so can death" is a powerful and sadly true statement, Vince. Very profound perspective on love's pain.

Christopher Higgins March 30, 2009 at 10:25 AM I would like to think we can love again even after all the pain..love the line, the cost of love is undying pain...wonderful writing Vince.
