Love's Deceipt

Sorrowful and resplendent she arrives
Flaunting the wares of her twisted archives
Her seductive drink of prepared pleasure
Seeking a lonely, foolish heart's treasure
~
I have tasted her bitter and her sweet
Drunk from her cup of lies and foul deceit
The fall from soul mate to love's reprobate
Happens so fast that you will be too late_
~
To save yourself a painful severance
Comparable only with Death's nuance
Who can deliver me from this despair?
To walk again along that road so fair
~
How shall fate accomplish her destiny?
Shall there be grace or mercy, if any?

Good imagery and language usage and emotion--
This has the tone of a more Victorian or even older work--I enjoyed reading this! Good job.

Thank you JFC! At the time I was in a Shakespearean mood and surfaced with a my first attempt at a sonnet. There was intense pain when I wrote it! Daniel
