Aftermath

He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself. Proverbs 6:32

Heal yourself. 

Heal yourself. 

My voice is drowning,

but that is my plea.  

I...I saw you 

trapped in my whirlwind of lies, 

disappearing slowly with each new wound, 

leaving me to embrace my own selfishness.

 This haunts me every night;  

piercing my heart 

are the flames of pure betrayal 

that glow in your eyes. 

Please forgive me, angel.

 I'd fall through a bottomless pit 

to feel your soft, supple arms flying down to catch me. 

 

Do not let your hands grow cold 

 or your thoughts of me vanish in the jaws of the void. 

There is only room for one 

 in my shell of flesh and loneliness. 

 With all my love, 

and all my strength, 

I beg your forgiveness 

for the pain I have caused.

A very well written piece, it resonates with honesty.

Thank you :D

One of my fav. posts!

I don't know, if you've made it intentionally or not, but it's true, I find some kinda deep inspirational like relaxed, calm & so static vibes of peace in your write. I think, this's the first time that I read something like that from you. Impressive! You're seemed kinda philosophical naked spirit of white-poetess either which I find very blissful to my heart. Keep it up!

[Elisa]

I'm really glad that you liked this one! You know what's ironic? This is one of the only poems that does not come from personal experience. I think because of that, I wanted to take my time on developing this, specifically focusing on the imagery. Thank you for reading!

[Horizons]

Even i'm glad you entered my heart.
Yeah, I figured that all out. I was even wondering when I jumped to your this poetry, what if it's 'bout your real experience? I had already thought that it came from outta the zone of your realness, cause, there's so much depth inside your words which make me almost thinking, it's real. I think, here you get one plus point which'd help you making a sexy poetess with time. You have built a knack to impacting the readers. Nice one. Mind me asking you, what inspires you writing this piece?

[Elisa]

I actually wrote this poem as the first entry in a series of poems that would make up a full fantasy narrative, but decided just to post this, because I realized I wouldn't have enough time during the school year to write a whole story.

[Horizons]

Series?
Are you working on any kinda great epic series? I`d like to know a wee bit `bout its summary... if I don`t make you wasting your time.

[Elisa]

I might continue it during the summer, but it's basically about this man who has sworn an oath to his king to assassinate enemies of the crown. After he takes this oath, the king infuses his blood with magic, making him the only one in the land capable of doing supernatural things. He falls in love with a woman from another kingdom that's in a bitter war, and he's trying to find a way to save her without leaving his post as the king's protector.

~ My left eye brow go raised up ~ playfully. You really Hot. I wonder, couldn`t your this hotness burn your loyal readers into such flames of yous? Do pop me up with mail and notify me as you are done with this epic-series, I`m very interested in you, I meant, reading your seires as well. Lol

[Elisa]

Adultery is a wicked thing indeed washing away pieces of those affected. A piece to make us think.

[Elisa]

Thank you very much. That's something I love about all writing: it breaks us from apathy, and makes us face tough issues head on.

[....................]

It certainly does!

[Mayank]

I liked the concept, adultery is no doubt a bad thing as you lose more than you can think of.

[Elisa]

Most definitely. Thank you for reading!

[Nadia Gerassimenko]

This was food for thought. Those who commit adultery once and never to repeat it again, hope with all their being to be forgiven. Those who have been cheated on even once hope that it will never repeat. And so one lives with insecurity that one will always cheat. And the other lives with insecurity that the other will never forgive or forget.

[Elisa]

You are so right. I love that writing makes us ask the hard questions and explore difficult issues. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

[Saddam]

I love the description of the fall of man. "your thoughts of me vanish in the jaws of the void" gave me shivers and I enjoyed reading this. Nice work.
