Betrayed..




The darkness weighs heavy in my heart
A thousand knives pierce its soul
Blinded by promises that overwhelm the mind
Shrouded by folly and foul.

Yet hope flutters her sprightly wings
Doubt etches rays of trust
Caught in this ever frightening whirlpool
That threatens but all to dust.

Let the pain burn ever more brighter
Until this heart is but left stoned
Waves crashing on its cold surface
May perish decried and condoned.

Still hope flutters her sprightly wings
Igniting flames of love
As tears drip down unwary cheeks
And the heavens break above.


 (This is my first attempt at writing a poem!! Eagerly looking forward to your responses!! :D)

  3. First attempt? Are you serious? This is brilliant my lady.

    Rhymed poetry is orgasmic for me and this one was really really good. Keep up the good work!

    P.S: Try not to use full stops in poems, a comma here and there is fine. But full stops somehow say that this is the end. Just a suggestion :)
