The Fear of Breaking Love ( A Poem )

 
Once upon a time, I chanced upon a mighty angel drowned in light,
And the mighty smiled and lulled me into an ephemeral world of absolute delight,
And taught me that love is magical when love is shown,
And through the dark of night and light of day we were never alone.
 ...
Until the fear of breaking love lingered one dreadful night
And then, my love, frightened, darted out of my sight.
 ...
A distorted flower you no longer fancied                    – my  love    you     deserted,
And in your heart, a new collection of roses you       carried,
And lonely I prayed and I cried... And lonely I – my hopes have died.
 
I am but a little orchid, now, in a vast unpleasant field,
Tossed here, like an abandoned prisoner with no shield,
Left alone in a bloody battlefield.
