Two hearts entwined
with malice and hatred...
embraced in each
other's gaze.
Love unknown-
all is forsaken;
as they stand before
God and lie.
A lie to themselves,
their family and friends-
the unspeakable;
The Truth.
The beginning
has ended.
The story unfolds,
Karma makes her move-
His agony is seen
through the photos
His demise,
found in his glance.
Lies upon lies-
sin upon sin-
Judge ye not,
your tears will come
Intricately woven
is a black widow's web
waiting to prey
on the weak
He knows he's wrong;
he's in too deep-
his head slowly
sinking beneath
Grasping to anything-
Anything at all,
he can not be saved;
the guilty shall fall
As to her-
ironically enough,
she becomes everything
that she dreads
Her soul will wail
and heart will mourn;
as all the hurt she caused
will return
Her words,
and her lies
will echo in her ears-
as retribution unveils
I smile with pity
and feel at ease-
for the evil
unleashed-
For the hate
they bind
after all of the pain-
Light will forever shine...
Author notes
I wrote this because some people really don't know what love is. Some believe that marriage will change his/her partner and together they will live happiliy ever after. Some marry for wrong reasons such as spite, malice and just to try to slap the people in the face who just shook their heads and turned away from the disruption and lude behavior that the couple caused in the past.
Don't get me wrong, I do wish everybody the best in life and relationships, but secrets and lies eventually surface and eventhough the incling that something was wrong always went ignored, it will come back.
Sometimes, caring doesn't matter and paths that people choose to walk down, in the long run all lead to truth....
sometimes all you can do is stand back,
and wait "as retribution unveils"....

i love the way you created image in this poem and you speak true words .there are some people outhere who marry for wrong reasons love is not fairy tale . there are gonna be somedays when shoes are not always going to fit , there are somedays it will be too big or small .. thank you for entering my contest i enjoyed reading this poem .

You really create an image with your words and I like that in a poem. It makes it reach out and speak to a person rather than just be words on a screen. ZGood job and good luck.

that she dreads
you are creating some darker visions recently, but this is always a good thing..it is through pushing through the shadow that we become aware of the presence of light..this stanza particularly appeals to me, as it encapsulates this concept..through experiencing the aspects which we dislike of ourselves, we learn how to transform them.

interesting piece....i enjoyed reading it
thank you for the entry and good luck!! -
Well my impression is that they are in a loveless marriage and every day they put on a show for everyone around, she being the perfect little wife ignoring his indecretions and he trying to show to everyone else he is the wonderful man they all say and yet he is living a lie behind their backs. All and all I think it obviously has this double meaning but am I even close?

I'd say that you pretty much nailed it! times two... good job, I guess in sorts-
this write does make sense.
Thank-you!

wow, I don't know where to start. I'm sure this poem has a great deal of meaning but after three readings I'm still pretty sure that I'm only getting a bit of it. I wish my mind was clearer right now so I could think about it more.
On a shallower note, the flow is quite nice and I can feel the emotion coming from it.
-
this was well written (not to mention the background is really cool) leaving the reader full of the vivid emotion this poem portrays
-
Wow.......
I had to read that several times to read between the lines.
Is this for Art sake or is this a personal write.....
either way it is fraught with deception and retribution,
and more sadness then is let on in the wording....
as if a price was paid for for that shining light...
but isn't that the case with the accomplishment of feeling good
about things and carrying on.......a price is paid...pay the piper ..
as retribution unveils.
A finely tuned piece that invokes strong emotions in the reader as well as the writer...
the passion to make things right...
no matter who pays....
my own interpretation of course.....
I try so hard not to do that...
but when it comes to your writing
it is almost impossible not to be compleatly intrigued
by the origin of it's context.
Bless your heart
little gypsy,
Liam
