Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Too Far To Glow

She enchanted him with her smile
 And soon wrapped him around her little finger
 But her plan all the while,
 To break his heart, make her memory linger

 The innocence in her eyes belied a beguiling heart
 She left broken hearts in her trail
 Toying with their emotions from the start
 Leaving hearts imprisoned without bail

 She found her suitors guilty of loving her
 And sentenced them to heartache all the time
 No sense of compassion within her did stir
 Love was not a passion, but a crime

  Her suitors would come and go
  But none ever got close to her heart,
  From distant Venus there was no glow
 And Cupid's arrow had fallen short

Paula Goldsmith October 23, 2021 at 12:05 PM A creative story/write. Loved your last line. It tells it all. Have a blessed autumn day writing away..................

S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri October 22, 2021 at 10:37 AM Woww this is one of your best!!! So creatively expressed on a heartbreaker though perhaps more men break hearts than women . Kudos for this eloquent lament with allegorical applications wow! <<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>•¥^^^^~ Plz do read and comment my newest poem too.

Jan Allison October 20, 2021 at 2:39 PM oh how sad Joseph but i guess there are people out there who are never satisfied and are guilty of these love crimes leaving a string of heartbroken suitors, hugs Jan xx

Vijay Pandit October 19, 2021 at 6:42 AM As always, your rhythm resounds in your lovely write, Joseph. A bit melancholic--but that is how life is sometimes. Expertly crafted poem.
