Trapped in inky black space of a once empty heart
Lies the purgatory where all romance sins reside
bathed in the brine of raw un-forgiven teardrops
wrongs preserved in the sustenance of ego’s pride
he said, she said rules are written in the moment
I don’t want to play anymore this silly game
say your prayers for me on that hallowed ground
but know I’ll stand tall not hang my head in shame
atonement is unattainable in this morass of sadness
old scars coarse and hoary with age of years cast
the fortunate find mercy in the kiss of new love
some may bridge love’s solitude of surrendered past
some don cold capes of invincibility against hurt
others look away wearing a smile as false disguise
push the acidic pain away into the Hades of denial
knowing that their pretensions are ill concealed lies…
and I?
I will go on to live love and laugh…for what else is there?
Lies the purgatory where all romance sins reside...
your first two lines alone captured my heart, what a wise man you are and oh btw, I like your new profile picture, it captures you well :-)

love does not harm others
nor does love cast shackles
love is knowing the freedom to love above oneself
and all games are mere losers to their own foolishness
where no trap can keep love's wings
