Verse 13: Paramour

Paramour

 

Ruin a cup no longer full.

Emptiness rules the lather.

Hold what’s left of a residue.

Learning keeps filtering.

Failures commit vows of nuptial.

Victimize a verdict of no returns.

Repeat even, now long after far gone.

Blinds truth kills softly a disease.

No rewind cures; burn a wound to seep.

Infinite tenure bound by imprisonment.

[Frieda P]

There's definitely no taking it back once that line is crossed, had to reread to get the full essence of this one, you have your own unique way of seeing situations....

Blinds truth kills softly a disease. Tripped over that line a wee bit, think you need to cut the 's' on blinds...unless there's another reason or meaning behind it.

[Glen Yumang Manese]

You know when I wrote it some years back...there must of been a reasoning behind it...I believe if I had to that a calculated guess --- I was talking about "blinds" as a pair of eyes...unless I was a Pirate...then I could write it "blind" truth...of course...that's just how I would read it as a reader...thanks --- FP....will make my presence known soon...

[Christopher Norton]

Is this about the regret of hurting someone you loved and living with the loss? That is what I felt while reading it... but admittedly, my life is marred by regret for people I've hurt.

[Glen Yumang Manese]

This was not an actual event...I wrote this --- what others have gone through the experience...and had at it...with many friends...you get to see their side of the story..and as a writer --- I listen and write them down...thanks for the review...

[Christopher Norton]

The more I read, the more stands out.. the line :
"Infinite tenure bound by imprisonment." feels like two committed people who are stuck in a situation with one another under their own pretexts. "Infinite tenure", sounds like a person who had invested such time in the relationship that throughout the very act of being together long makes their partner bound for life. "Bound by infinite imprisonment. feels like the hopeleness od a partner who has given up on searching for happiness because they have been locked in an ugly cell that represents comfort, acceptance and freedom from loneliness and searching. The prison keeps them safe from the pitfalls and rejection of looking for love. Safe, yet alone. Together but forever apart.... am I close or am I reading my own story in yours?

[Glen Yumang Manese]

I believe you are reading your own story in yours...
but in depth --- in the thinking process of your thoughts ---
here with this verse...
Paramour is an illicit lover...
with that the person is married
and loses everything in his/her pursuit
to engage in the affair...
I wrote this a while back...circa 2008-09...
