All that glitters is not gold - Lesson learned.

Heart wandered through a life unknown Hurdles, trials, as though all planned Along new paths as they were shown Each taken, one by one, in hand Heart walked alone. Au solitaire No inkling of the road ahead Until the day a comrade came Whose kindly nature was mis-read What Comrade gave, he took, and more To bolster all his grandest needs Excuses flowed from clever mouth To justify self-centred deeds Thus Heart was claimed by false appeal Outwitted, captured, occupied Such fierce emotion, held hostage Whilst mutual feelings were implied Once truth and dawn turn to the light The heart that’s smitten, all at sea No antidote to venom’s curse To counter Eros’ treachery With Love’s heart lost to poison dart She shy’s from any replicate All faith and trust, in fear, dissolved Eluding Destiny’s duplicate Most part, the Heart, defensively Deflects all thought of past amour Yet minute memories catch the light And highlight history’s paramour.

Beware the silver tongued devil. Written well in your intriguing style.

I've been looking for the continuation of the story you have been posting, hopeful that the ending will be better than where it was at the last reading.

Sorry to hear your heart may have been cracked, but never fear your good heart is still there...write to get rid of the bad feelings and if you see the guy again, kick him in the nuts, it may not help, but it will make you feel a hell of alot better...:-) -e-

Eh, the heart can be the lure for silver-tongued devils, who give the heart pleasure it has never thought existed. What the heart, blinded by love, fails to understand is that for every bit of pleasure it receives it is taxed through the roof and subsequently leached of all goodness it used to have . . . to be forever suspicious of those quick to cast a spell.
