Across the sea and land I went
on a feeling of love - hell bent
To a woman who sold herself by her heart
I gave up all for a new fresh start.
Sold all my things, gave up my life
for the dream and idealology of the "perfect wife"

Weeks passed and tempers blew, she was not the icon of love so true,
plane home, love gone -now I am that single swan,
lesson learnt, heart is blue for commitment I thought I had with you.

Time taught me hard, my feelings torn
my heart so strong now looks well worn,
Never again shall I give so much, on a whim and lust of a females touch.

Read this you may and smile not, for lifes tapestry is full of knots, the desperate seek for love goes on, and single men will sing this song, a song of smile, a verse of pain....for my tainted view will always remain.

Rich - back again from the other side (of the world)

Your true love is in your own yard. You didn't have to travel so far. Look close to home and she'll be there.

A song of smile, a verse of pain
for my tainted view, will always remain.....
those lines alone stick out like a orange and green.......great work!

Rich* A pleasure to have you back!! Your
weave so painful but with a light of a pure
soul...you should expect and even demand
nothing less than All...we all should.  
Excellent thoughts~

What a well written poem and so easy to feel the hurt. Wouldn't it be nice if life was never painful? Thanks for the read. Wish you well...

Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak
I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps
