A Lucky Escape Poem by Hazel Durham

A Lucky Escape

Rating: 5.0


Love is her wish with his breathtaking kiss,
He plunder's her soul with his delectable charm,
Warming up her heart, unravelling her dormant desire's,
Puzzling her questioning mind,
'Why me? '
Is she worthy of his sincere interest,
As she always feel's like a second rate date,
With her twisted soul that sow's a seed of self hate,
Even with her loving nature,
She find's a rotten apple too endure,
Discoloured and bruised,
From a past that flung mud at her so fast,
Leaving her with a complex like a faulty flex.



Tears of ever present resentment at her torment
With her brave inner roar of a lion and a lamb's bleat,
He cherished her broken and battered emotions,
Spiralling devotion as she has a terrible notion,
Destroy anything good is the devils potion,
With her feeling's far from level
Killing his love with her inner thunder,
That tear's him assunder,
Losing him is the hardest kick,
It leave's her floored,
She is the only one he ever adored,
Is it a mirage or a trick of light,
That he see's her as a ravishing sight.



She knows he has had a lucky escape,
As hell is striking her fragile mind,
She is far from well,
Clinging onto the dream of explaining to him,
Her stumbling destruction over her raw emotions,
Her real fear she will never get over his beautiful soul,
Wishing to get healed so that finally their love will be sealed.

Tormented by self pity and hatred, she wonders whether she will be able to reciprocate his adoration for her! She somehow doesn't like to deceive him! Her self realization that she is not worthy of him pains her like a sting! Yet she hopes of a time when oneday she will scale over her limitations and that their relationship will culminate into a beautiful relationship! ! A beautiful exploration into the complex human psyche! !

This poem tugs at my heart's strings. Why? Because I knew that lady. Low self esteem is so destructive, so prevalent among women who live in a male dominated society. Such a shame. He loved her for who she was, not for who she wanted to be. I fully understand your message here, Hazel, and the underlying cause. This is a great poem but only touches the surface. Thanks.
