My boyfriend is
smoking hot.
I kid you not.
Under that hood
I understood
lay my destiny.
In the dark I
felt the spark
as we passed.
Love to last.

While I watch her, an adored jewel,
Flinging on with my old pal
She crashes from the pedestal,
Like a burst of glass
As love etches death on the alley.

Never lie
That's what you preached
But your promises
We're hollow
You just left
Why
40 years later
You show up
Dying
Asking
For forgiveness
Why did you bother

I said, "They're opportunists"
when just a few accused,
but soon a throng of sixty-plus
cried out, "We've been abused!"
His reputation's gone to pot.
Cliff Huxtable--he's not.

My idol raced into the history books with record shattering feats,
but fell from dizzying heights, stripped of honours and respect.
I halted in my tracks, numb, disappointed and betrayed!

Mother says when he let me down,
I tore up the flowers from the neighbor’s garden.
I do not recall this, but his failing me
has left a lasting impression.

Written about my father, whom my mother divorced before I turned five.
FALLEN
Pepped up for her wedding
Geared and went beyond my resources
Travelled miles on receipt of invite
She clung only to special few
Unapolegetically ignored and broken, I regretted going

Taken
Once a rhyming heartbeat,
glowing pearl of my eyes,
With betrayal of trust
was taken into tears of regret,
As cascades of intense passion,
evanesced never to rise.

I have fallen, fallen into sadness,
Why did you leave me, my beloved?
You were my hero but you drove too fast,
Since your death, I have fallen into poetry.

First Place
Lovely lady was my rock
instant hero from birth
fell into the fire of addiction
love became a curse
suicide breaking our bond
broken loyalty, her pulse,
just couldn't respond
My sister, Karen

Best friends forever
two bracelets, each with half a heart
friendship ended when the tart stole my boyfriend
Tossed ~ one bracelet. Tossed ~ two friends who lost my respect.
(For cousin Susan, who thought she had to steal everyone's boyfriend)

Fallen
By Curtis Johnson
While a young man, he achieved great measures of success. I rejoiced with him and his family; but when his failure was exposed, so quickly my happiness turned to grief.
Cj11282015 ( His name was Bob, my mentor. He failed from grace and left his wife for another woman. 30 words used in the contest, "Fallen in 25-30 Words"
Igniting this blaze of longing
I cherished your moonglow,
And our kisses encouraged
My vulnerable heart to surge on---
But your mocking tone
accidentally
spilled;
“This is an impetuous rebound.”

- A woman I seriously dated
nectar gathered by buzzing bees
cherry blossoms like popcorn trees
busy eyes suntan bikini pose
love breeze flows Spring shows
lovers move fast moments stall
chasing breath country clocks crawl
