We Have an Angle Sum of 180 Degrees -- Omega

Last in the series of three -- the condemning.

If our lives were games,

then,

does it mean,

that we can,

start over?

You were once a friend,

that I would laugh freely,

and you would tease with mischief.

Loud quarrels, but never malevolent;

soft whispers, but never scarlet.

All your presence was amity.

You then grew to be my brethren,

and so did I become a little child,

hungry for his sibling's attention,

a poke on the forehead,

a pat on the hair,

a pinch on the cheek,

childish might it seem,

yet was ample.

Until that night,

when Eros shot his arrow at me,

as if to unfreeze my winter,

with a tint of warmth.

And so did I believe.

I knew how red I was.

I felt the ultimate shyness.

But I did it anyway,

fearing that you would revolt at my words,

yet no rage came out of your mouth,

but a seductive grin.

I actually thought,

that I had the world at my feet,

that my gaiety soared upon the summit of Everest,

that I was embraced by more love than heaven could contain.

 

I trusted you.

I trusted you!

I......

I trusted you......

Kami Grace: This is breathtaking. Just simply magnificent..Each time I was compelled to read the prior poem...it is dialouge to me and I don't mean your expressions of deep raw honest emotions: It is as if this could be recited in front of an audience...Beautiful.

Wow! Really, thank you very much for the kind words and your support, Dale! I am really really happy that you enjoy reading the series and absolutely elated to see your comment. I will keep working harder and write more! I want to express my genuine gratitude towards you, Dale: I have learnt a lot and had my sight widened through your reviews and your own poetry. Your style and use of words has brought me into looking at a greater level of poetry. I still remember the time we met was when you left a comment on my poem "Now", and since then you have been one of the poets I admire and blink in awe every time I see your work. Thank you very much, Dale :)
