Flying

peto

When first they met it was so sweet 

A zest for life a world to beat

Love may be blind but smells a cheat 

He tried so hard to fly 

 

The honeymoon was boiling hot 

Flaws overlooked and sins forgot 

A mansion house replaced the squat 

He tried so hard to fly 

 

The grass upon his cultured lawn 

The first light of his breaking dawn 

The victim of her fatal con

He tried so hard to fly 

 

Her plumage's seductive spell 

The million lies she had to tell 

Had dragged him to the gates of hell

He tried so hard to fly 

 

The hand he held though never won 

Squeezed on the trigger of her gun 

She rode into the setting sun

And left him there to die

      What can I say, this is AMAZING!! You know I always love your rhyme and meter but the content in this one is simply magnificent! You describe flying, as falling in love feels as such but overlooking her flaws to a tragic end. It was sad, true, but I hope you'll share your talents with us some more.---Christina
