The Betrayal



A serpent bite hard my heart

as I remember the betrayal.


The sins of the flesh and the soul

make me bleed, infernal.


Your cruel red mouth

is like a venomous rose from the mire.


No thorne go as deep as the rose's

they say love is more cruel than lust.


The serpents tongue

catch fire in a flame.


Passion slayes

with unexpected pain.


The sweet poisonous kiss

has a subtile aftertaste of death.


In a chamber of thine

the sins becomes prayers.


On a bed of torment

the pain melt to tears.


Languishing wet eyelashes arises

as I bleed internal.


Bloodstains leave a trail on the blossoms

in the garden where hands reach heaven from hell.

You share your heartbreak with us so explicity that memories of our own encounters flood our hearts & minds. We immediately commiserate with you, & make us want to hug you.

Judas kiss, the feeling of betrayal is so painful and your poem is indeed beautifully portrayed.

The poem reflects the anxiety with use of similes and images.The flow of agonised feeling is poetically well crafted.
