Tragedy

by Deb Strafuss

 

 

 

So Sad…

A lass and a lad….

 A relationship gone bad

 

A terrible wiry twist

          Unraveled fate –

                  Interrupted bliss

 

And a lover’s kiss

                 turned to death

 

The horror of parting,

      new lives starting

                   torn apart by wroth

 

Traveled darkness’ path

                                and turned

          from love’s fancy found

                                                     to tragedy’s blood upon the ground….

 

Two lives           

           just beginning

                                        ended

 

Two journeys begun

never tended

                             with what could be found

                               of true love’s ground

 

Traced the patterns of

passion and fate

          where love dissolves into hate

                    and life becomes the gate

         to insanity

         pain

                            and death

 

Never a chance

for patience’s true breath

                           gentle waters

                                                   to clear and flow

                                                cause love that’s true to bloom and grow

 

Two lives, newly begun,

                                        undone.
