Rogue

A sad love poem.

You are a knave,

nay, a rogue

who has absconded

with my heart.

You climbed my barriers

breeched my locks

vaulted my walls

just for a start.

With your warm smile

eyes that burn bright blue

smooth talk and winning ways too

you aroused in me such a desire.

Swept me off my feet

claimed me for your own

kissed me thoroughly

spread this passionate fire.

With sweetest words

of love and promises too

love songs you penned

our plans were laid.

Then in just hours

you ripped me to shreds

left me wishing I were dead

you destroyed everything our love had made.

I love this, but reading this makes me fear. I have the first half you have written. I've been swept off my feet, but the last stanza frightens me. Aside from personal feelings I feel it is well written and flows beautifully. This certainly tells a story. Wonderful job!

An age-old story...we all know of someone like this...told with poetry and drama. And even though the last stanza leaves the reader with the image of a distraught maiden, we are sure she will survive, and even love again. Nice work.

Time to add gators to the moat raise the drawbridge and tell this scallywag No More. You pen the heat of passion and of burning betrayal so fluidly. Beautifully done Sis, keep em' coming

Another write that left me wanting more, you have a special gift like that. I love these write I only wish I could read them at home and not at work where there is nothing that can be done with the emotions that they stir

Ohh wow.. i loved it as well. A bit tragic end.. it scares me because it reminds me of something.. that love can be. Quite bittersweet.. but nicely written. =D Great write!
