Love  is not love  so  softly spoken
Promising  vows  already  broken
Pale pink lies  of  cloudy deception
Wrapping  you safely in illusion

Whispered but  unconvincing  emotin
Voices  carrying  no hint  of  devotion
A look, a touch  given in haste
Love  words said, but put to waste

Key returned to a desk clerk
Honest, honey I was  at work
A kiss becomes  a mere token
Love is not love  so softly  spoken  

 Mystical being
which makes ink flow
Surround me in
your incandescent glow
Fill my brain with
thoughts and rhyme
As I try to capture
but a moment in time
~Shan~

Starr- you did an excellent job on this poem.  Sad.  Very sad.

Sharp bitter deception. Sad but true.

Great writing.
