CayCay Godwin Poet Rhyme

Walls Infatuation Built

Inspired by Cy

Early on, I called your look lust.
You named it love, one I should trust.
Startled, my feelings then crushed
A blunt voiced decline of love for us.
Your face folded, alarmed, nonplussed,
Before tenderly probing me to discuss
Why love turned my demeanor to rust.

So I shared, I gave and I conveyed
If love is real it need not persuade
For true love grows, it does not fade –
Not according to plans my heart made.
Again, you said love and I said date,
Do not rush for love gladly waits,
While infatuation will just deflate.

We may have but fleeting gifts to share
To nurture our lives overall core welfare.
Please, I continued, just give it air,
Do not rush to construct a nightmare
Built of walls that leak despair.
Still you insisted I be love ensnared.

Now we live maimed inside walls of warfare
That I stupidly allowed despite my scare.

Connie Marcum Wong October 29, 2016 at 8:40 PM I can sure relate to this poem CayCay. It is best to move on from that kind of immaturity. Sorry this did not make the list but it was a short one. Love, Connie ; )

Judy Ball October 29, 2016 at 6:18 PM Ooohoohoo! I think we have all been there and done that. Very well expressed with good emotion. A seven from me. God Bless and thanks for the kind words and sharing of my "Season of the Witch". My next two poems are a story for Halloween. Please take a peek for me. JB

Paloma P October 29, 2016 at 4:20 PM I've lived your poetry, I think I can safely assume many have, hits within the heart and soul of regretful relationships. These walls take forever to disassemble.

Constance La France October 29, 2016 at 11:36 AM Caycay, wonderfully penned with great rhyming too, oh yes it is easy to get trapped in a dead end love until one has the strength to break down the wall

James Inman October 29, 2016 at 8:03 AM Hi CayCay, I know the feeling of rushing down a road that leads to nowhere and all of the unintentional lies you tell yourself to justify your lack of judgement.

Daniel Turner October 29, 2016 at 5:45 AM It is so easy to get oneself trapped in a stagnate relationship. Unfortunately I can relate to this one, CayCay. Good luck:)
