The Betrayal

You said you loved me showed me affection and passion, but here I am yearning for a relationship, yet you struggle in an attempt to taste the flame of my inner soul, whilst I cherish all that, that is sacred. Your insensitive scorn is an abomination when you took my innocence like that of a tender bloom and fed me a hurricane of hate those that bamboozle one’s head, stabs at a lonely heart. © Harry J Horsman 2012

Seems we have this disappointment in common Harry; a great selection of words to describe that detestable state. I love these kinds of poems and you did a great job on it! A great entry for the contest with my best wishes. Love, Elizabeth

Nowadays love, real whacko, they only try to taste one's inner soul, depress one and run away...... I can really see treason in the face of that lover, though, he showed affection and passion Nice write!

YOu did really well with these words of Dalilah's, harry. I struggled a bit and then got going. I think you incorporated them just right. It was an interesting challenge, don't you think?

first to respond to what you commented on the yellow rose. I wrote that a long time ago for my poetry mentor I met in 2001 when I was starting out. She was such a good friend until one day she decided to quit poetry and return to her painting. I never heard from her again. a very strange thing to do and I will never understand that a best friend could do that to his/her friend!
