Linda-Marie Sweetheart Poet Rhyme

Quicksand

"Quicksand"


In the dark shadows of my mind ...
memories ache from love's heartbreak
lost in sweet surrender
fell into the "venus fly trap" of a pretender
swallowed by emotions lake
a volatile earthquake
In the dark shadows of my mind ...

In the misty corridors of my soul ...
scars exist wounded by love's kiss
as passions overflowed
deceived by lying seeds sowed
magnetic charms drawn to false abyss
a fantasy of illusions bliss
In the misty corridors of my soul ...

In the blackened hole of my heart ...
lies destructive band of love's quicksand
a pedestal crumbles; broken
a veil of pain; unspoken
flaming embers slowly fanned
tears cascading in cupped hand
In the blackened hole of my heart ...

*For SKAT'S BROKENESS Contest ...

Ravindra K Kapoor May 24, 2012 at 4:12 AM You have sketched these feelings very well my friend and I am so happy to see you once again with us. Seeing your poems and comments are always a joy for us. Thank you for your precious words on my new Poem Beauty, Love and Peace. Love and best wishes...Ravindra...SH LMB

Ravindra K Kapoor May 24, 2012 at 4:11 AM Heart touching lines reflecting the feelings of a broken heart so well. The cunnings are always too mean, to take the feelings of innocent for ride and then breaking the emotions like a glass of jar. The soft feelings of a poet's heart must have gone deep in Christopher's nature and feelings that he has become a target of his love's cunningness. ...to conti.Ravindra

Phyllis Babcock May 23, 2012 at 1:47 PM Talk about broken love that sunk in the quicksand. Glad to see you here and I hope you have reconsidered coming back. Miss you. Hope you had a great birthday.

Hope you are doing well, continuing to adjust to your new fingers and that you have found a place that is filled with as many of your fans as here on soup! You are missed! This poem is deep and emotional. Yes, love can be prickly, harsh... life <-- never easy.
