Love Disowned Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Love Disowned

Rating: 5.0


As days split off
and drift away,
their dreams remain with me

Words as jewels
and treasured pawn,
whose tickets cancelled—flee

The nights adopted
orphaned suns,
those times you woke and lied

My heart left bare
myself to wed,
your wound still deep inside

From spells you cast
upon our gift,
and conjured into stone

The past is black
all future gone,
and present—love disowned

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January,2016)

This is a song of love, the first two stanzas captivated, but the third is powerfully unique 'The nights adopted orphaned suns, those times you woke and lied' the juxtaposition of 'nights adopted' with 'orphaned suns, ' stirs with imagery quite sublime.

" The past is black all future gone and present love disowned" . Mind blowing conceptualization and equally painful. Thanks for sharing.10 points.
