The News

This is the 3rd installment of my ongoing romance poem.

 

 

Per Chance, Part III

The News

A moment of silence gave way to pops from the fire.
She rose from her rest; wine became her desire as
Her graceful movement signaled that it was her turn
And she arrived with two glasses; I was poised to learn.

 

Her deep set eyes met mine once again in a dance.
Then she looked down, then to the flames for a glance;
The story began with a quivering tone in her voice
As she explained our ancient parting was partly her choice.

 

Sensing friction within her; she slowly revealed
That my young ambivalence caused our fate to be sealed.
Absence from love had left a void for another,
Though our hearts yearned still for desire for each other.

 

Said she married wonderful man who attended to her needs
But I sensed the words pierced her wound and it began to bleed
As my own hope dashed in hearing the sentence of death
The truth of our love was revealed by shallow breath.

I like how you are creating your story through poems instead of story form. This is very creative, interesting and makes me want to know what is in the next chapter.

Well done :)
