She holds
an archetypal view of love.
Yet succumbs
to the blandishment of sweet nothings.
Foolish,
To submit to an egregious abuse of trust
yet hopeful
whilst knowing his love is ephemeral.
Trusting
mistaken licentious behaviour,
yet forgiving
a pertinacious lover who
displays only
to his romantic objective,
a phlegmatic
and cruel view of love.
Beautifully written again and as always Lodigiana with superb phrases.We've all seen these peoplein action. And you've beaten me to the punch by 24 hours only your poem is better written and delivered Mine was a little darker called The Charmer And The Snake which is about a cruel selfish man. ! 0++ and added to my oxymoron treasure chest.
We have indeed known people like this...unfortunately! I cant wait to read your new work Shaun you are the master of the deep and dark..so will look forward in anticipation..Lodigiana x

Looking for love can be a self destructive procedure.Perfect!
You are SO right Kostas..we always hope we can find the 'Perfect' one but are so often blinkered in our choice that the reality is not always apparent until too late.. sadly. Thank you so much for your perceptive insight into this piece. Lodigiana x
