True and Deceitful

When will thy pulchritude be mine?

Been yearning for thee, all this time

'Til then, be staring at your portrait

What nature of magic did you create?

Photographs and memories...

So the feeling goes,

Trapped within this printed enigma

Images of escapism, seized to remedy.

Slideshows from yesteryears

Chill fresh the pain and regret

May all these emotions come to subside

Flicker thy stars, leave the madness behind.

Such a big word you use in the first line... seems to hang at a balance... Yet, I do like the theme and over all construction of this write... Don't get me wrong... the word is fine just as is... Good to read you...

[daisyreelorraine]

Thank you! :)

I just love the word "pulchritude" I find it attractive, poetic..though it's synonym beauty also goes well. I'm happy you liked this composition.

I actually wrote this way back 2007 when I was still a 3rd year college student. I composed this for the literary folio of our university called Handurawan. I was actually a staff of our school's publication and was assigned to write this as a category divider for poems expressing pain, regret and longing. But during those times, I really haven't felt those kinds of emotion. I even wondered how I was able to come up with these lines as I can't actually relate.

Sounds nice.
The use of the word reminds the time of Shakespeare.
Like to know if you have any special reason for this.
