A Hell Turned Paradise
Poem by Alem Hailu Gabre Kristos
My beloved
I always remember
Once my soul
Had taken a ride
On a marital-bliss river
Jubilant nothing or no one
Could put us asunder.
But after I learnt
You have sown mistrust
On the fertile ground
Of my heart
When you cheated on me
Wilfully letting
A cherished corner
To a lover another
The quite donning
Ecstasy's river
Which I happily
Used to ride
Had taken leave
For ever
To uncharted water!
Bringing warmth
To my hearth,
Once you had made
My life a paradise on earth
Soon to change it to
An earthly hell
Worse than what sinners
Expect after death!

Report ReplyIt is written nicely, and I love the meaning behind the words. Turning something so heart wrenching into something so equally heart wrenching, it isn't easy. Beautiful work.
Report ReplyYour words are true, cheating by a partner is pure hell, deadlier than death, it rips your heart out and tears your soul. My heart goes out to your friend, it is a difficult thing to have to deal with, there are so many other women out there who deserve a love that's true and would never cheat on them. Hopefully, one will find him soon. Thank you for expressing the pain of a cheaters lies, it may help others to know of this deceit that could happen to anyone. RoseAnn
