Jay Loveless Poet Free verse

Oft I Thought

Oft I thought I loved her - her beauty and her grace. 
Oft I thought her lovely, the light dim beside her face. 
She spoke to me with twisted tongues 
and hands that moved in graceful ways - 
Oft I let her love me, though she left a bitter taste.

Justin Bordner May 5, 2014 at 8:38 PM Oft I needed love to punish me, Then I learned to set love free. You have made simplicity a beautiful revelry of love's trauma and triumph. A good woman needs be a good pain for a strong man. I respect the meditative, and truthful touch to this poem. A FAV. , thank you. J.A.B.
