Left my jet-setting life,twas leading me astray down paths of dreary alleys of dark disarray.
Wild parties,strip poker,truth or dare,I loved the dare.
Sable..mink and lots of furs. Burgundys,Beluga,Bvlgari,Buggatis,vanity and flair.
Vancleefs,Cartiers,Choppard and Chaumets,Cabochons,Emeralds,Diamonds,Rubys,Pearls,goose feather pillows,and Cashmere.
Valentinos,Diors,and Coco Chanel.
Life in the pink,en francaise..
La vie en rose.
La Dolce Vita....
I walked away...left the love of my life.
He was my breath...my soul..my heart beat..my teacher mentor confidante and friend and so much more, A unique treasure and pleasure.
He was my soulmate.My beautiful precious husband and the apple of my eye.
He was my idol,and that was wrong.
So in search of truth...light and where i'd gone wrong,
Like 'Orpheus'..I climbed Tartarus,and fearlessly walked where angels trembled and dare to tread.
Blinded by a light that was so pure and bright,I looked back,
And there I was..fallen down to the ground.
Broken and lifeless...lightning struck..thunder roared.
A grave sight that made the gods and goddesses shed tears at my shatterred plight.
My broken lyre and enchanting melodies..my seeping crimson blood all floating downstream,
on the cloudy grey surface of life's mirrorred river where Charon still sits...watching.. in the stillness of silence.
Author notes
I am not a poet,I write what I write to release some of my pain.
Am not a poet,but luv poetry. I write mushroomed mashed spuds,you welcum to read.

It has appeal
Bohemian Girl So you are not a poet. You could have fooled me. I hope you are not going to revise this on a mobile phone, Even paper and pen would be better. You have a natural flow and rhythm. but beware of cliches like apple of my eye creeping in On your lists watch carefully your line endings. A good exercise with free verse is to write it out omitting all adjectives and cliches. Don't worry about it not feeling right. The next day or day or so later read it again and only put back in those adjectives that are essential to make it work. I think it falls into three stanzas the second starting He was my breath .. and the third starting with Blinded by a light With this sort of work very often there are two poems. There is the private healing poem where we throw away the rule book and just write. The other is the more crafted public work which we write according to our ability. What I like especially about this poem is that although I have little knowledge of what you are writing about, and even less experience, yet you carry me into it and make me feel I do. In many ways this is a catalogue poem but it has a beating heart and that is what makes it good. Dooney

No..im not a poet,never ever thought i'd ever try writing poetry.I loved English Literature,studied it for a while,excelled in it too.Fell in love with excellent prose,and Epics some years ago,and that was what I had wanted to learn.however,i have started enjoying and loving other forms of poetry.
My dream are the two books I want to and im trying to write.still in deep diverse reasearch,time consuming,though I love it.lifes everyday issues don't help.i got tired from researching,12-15hours a day.i needed a break,so came in here,rant and rave,read some brilliant poems,met sum really nice people. Hopefuly,i'll move on back to my book,but come in here to get my fix.lol.
Thanks for your time,help and commys!

Cliches are cliches because they work...

This is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!! You're a magnificent master of free verse! The tragedy and the beauty and the totality of the loss you've told so beautifully. I love your freedom in using both the wonderful things of today's richness of life, and mythology in the loss.
