LOVE

Love,
It's safe as it's gold
Until it's sold
Like a story told
To a total stranger.

 

APOCALYPSE

Your wiles preyed upon my innocence
Thereby,leaving me in a hopeless abyss
I glowed in your empty promises
Unaware of the gloom that stared

You traded my smile for tears
You baited my soul into despair
You drained my love to void
You numbed my heart into rigidity

All, but with your lies and treachery

RENAISSANCE

He idled away her precious moments
Keeping aloof from her emotional demands
He subdued her muse for a hopeful dawn
As he left her soul to naught, the night afore

So she walked away embracing her brokenness
Hoping for light as she walked the tunnel of loneliness
And love became as though a palpable illusion
As she journeyed through the dark and stormy days

She was left with nothing to live for but herself
She became a shrew waiting to consume any man
That crises the boundary she'd set in self defence
Her days were filled with gloom, undeserving

And then came a day with hope exhumed
As Dan extended an irrepealable gesture of love
And with a flutter, she responded accordingly
Hoping not to drown in the rues of a mirage

_And a new story was birthed_
