Poetic Justice


                         Deepening sorrow awakens her in the dead 
                         of night
                         Shrouded in darkness pervaded with regret
                         an agonizing sight

                         Temptation unveiled my fragility imbedding
                         seductive scenes
                         Where one enchantress enraptured this lost
                         soul snared in her schemes...


                          My transgression morphed into a love crime.


                          Tried to heal the wound of the heart I failed
                          so deceived
                          Anguished by malicious and egotistical deed
                          culpably conceived

                          Forgiveness pondered by her essence within
                          melted like snow
                          At a crossroads kindness denying atonement
                          kept its incessant glow...


                          My despair burns in an inferno of fire and ice.
                          Butterfly with broken wings took to the skies!





                                                    ******
                                              Just a reminder: 
                                     This could be anyone's reality,
                                           or an ominous dream.
