Infidelity Poem by Laurena Pamela Willetts

Infidelity

Rating: 4.9


Bathed in moonlight under a starry night
he clutched her hand and held it tight
she took him in her arms and held fast
deep down they both knew it could not last.


Two souls inseperable in mind and heart
it was only miles that kept them apart
in another time, another place
they might have retreated from the human race


These snatched moments must surely end
before the ensuing wrath transcends
a passing cloud phased out the light
the stars disappeared as they kissed goodnight


They always knew it could not last
all they had left was memories past
as true love bade its last farewell
each went their separate ways to dwell

A tender exploration of a sensitive subject! Please read 'Stolen Moments.'

The interesting thing about this poem is that only the second and fourth verses are necessary. In fact, those two verses alone would make this a better poem. Normally, this is not the case. But it is here. By the way, the last verse could even stand alone as a poem. It is that good. Well done. Greenwolfe 1962

This is a beautifully and flawlessly written poem, Laurena, not something I get to see every day on Poem Hunter. Your phrasing and word choices, as well as imagery throughout the poem is quite exceptional. Even better, your story telling ability is outstanding. You clearly held every reader's attention from the beginning to the ending word wonderfully. Carl.
