Victor Buhagiar Poet Free verse

She and I

One day just dawned and she was gone,
I know not where, nor can I ever hope
To touch once more her cherished face,
To feel the warmth, to share her mirth.
But I do know with her has gone
A thousand dreams, life's fantasy.
 
Yet there was a negative twist,
Relations strained, and discontent.
Now all those nightmares are so far away
And I can surely hope for better days.
 
For I admit that our sweet and bitter love
Was just a thorny bed of fragrant roses.
There was desire and there was envy
And there was love and anger and despair.
I'll miss the love, I'll miss the care 
That I admit though she was never true;
But gone too is the torment and the fear
That killed my peace and barred all truce.

Ann Foster June 21, 2021 at 7:41 AM Perfect; a thorny bed of fragrant roses. Excellent words and imagery used. Wonderful writing. Ann

Eve Roper June 20, 2021 at 5:46 PM In a marriage we have our ups and downs, but we are willing to accept them because of our love. We tend to reflect on then now that they are gone, why I don't know. Great write , Victor. Hugs Eve

Andrea Dietrich June 18, 2021 at 9:00 AM I have a feeling this is perhaps fictional even though parts of it sound like your dearly departed wife. Like Kim, I too love that first verse.

Kim Rodrigues June 18, 2021 at 4:25 AM I especially love the first verse. Follows the tragedy of life

Evelyn Judy Buehler June 17, 2021 at 9:04 PM Some relationships just aren't meant to be, Victor. I like the way you compared this ill fated love to a thorny bed of fragrant roses. Fine imagery, my friend. :)

Jennifer Proxenos June 17, 2021 at 11:03 AM A one sided relationship spells disaster my friend Victor, I have seen several arranged marriages that are so unhappy, on occasions they work, but by and large a real tsunami situation! Another relationship, which is endangered and spells disaster and sometimes tragedy, is when a younger woman marries a much older man. Jealousy becomes unbearable and finally the woman finds her way into a younger mans arms. Your poem talks of hurt, you write about it so well. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Marilene Evans June 17, 2021 at 9:08 AM This is beautifully and well written for stating the truth that there are more relationships that are really one sided or turbulent. Although, we walk away or they walk out, it still hurts for all the time we shared with them.

Joanna Daniel June 17, 2021 at 8:09 AM A negative relationship with some positives scattered about, maybe you are better off without her:) well done, Victor, wonder what inspired this...

Sotto Poet June 17, 2021 at 7:17 AM You seem a little sad in this very well penned poem, my friend Victor, as a great poet it can be so deceptive to encounter such a greedy person but I think it’s always necessary to move on for a simple reason that who ever is not faithful he is going loosely to your heart and soul. Blessings and regards

Anitha Jayasankar June 17, 2021 at 7:03 AM An emotional write Victor... It's good that such a strained relationship and nightmare is so far away now... God bless... ~ Ani

Sara Kendrick June 17, 2021 at 6:13 AM Sad to love someone who is not faithful. I know that has to be painful and causes so much mistrust in a relationship. I like the good part though without the negative. I appreciate your visits to my page. Sara

Alexis Y. June 17, 2021 at 5:06 AM WoW! Victor, Relationships are unpredictable, one never knows how they will turn out. You expressed that very well in this well written verse. In this case, it's good it ended and the torment is over-Alexis

Vijay Pandit June 17, 2021 at 4:42 AM Gone are the torment and fear--some relationships are thorny as you so eloquently describe, Victor-- with all the emotions that ruin peace. Relief that she's gone...
