Perfection from a broken mould
The front page former centrefold
Drips head to toe in solid gold
What did you leave behind
The heart you gave away was mine
Unravelling like a ball of twine
Without my dark your star won't shine
What did you leave behind
The jungle cat trapped in a zoo
The black cloud in a sky of blue
The sleuth who doesn't have a clue
What did you leave behind
Out with a lady and her lord
I pay the price for your reward
I knew the day you drew your sword
What you would leave behind
The girl who dried my blood and tears
Nursed me to health and dried my tears
Your looks are fading with the years
I've left you well behind

Why does this poem sadden me? How interesting. I really like your poems, Peto.
Thank you courlieth
A lovely and much appreciated comment
Glad to catch your interest
Much obliged
This is incredible! It evokes so much emotion. "without my dark your star won't shine"---I feel like that is so powerful, maybe the reason why opposites attract. But a stunning but sad poem. A pleasure to read!
Thank you Christina
You know by now how much your encouragement means
extremely grateful as always
A wee gem of a lady
Powerful work.
Thank you very much Thomas
Definitely a case of opposite attracts. Dark/light. When she left the balance was gone. An emotive piece, superbly conveyed and much enjoyed peto.
I really appreciate that comment cassie
