In That Room, We Planted Love's Sweet Bloom Guarded
In That Room, We Planted Love's Sweet Bloom Guarded
In that room, we planted love's sweet bloom guarded.
Highest hopes at any cost were sworn a love not lost
Cautionary tales about love's travails disregarded,
As future shadowy beast waited our love to accost.
In secret, cleverly hidden dark of night beast waited
Powerful and patient in darkest shadows it dwells;
For that moment- to strike deep the love it so hated
Thus send two true lover's souls into caverns of hells.
With its power cutting romantic flows of love's streams
Beast sent our lives into deep dives of troubled waters,
We never again to find depths of our fantastic dreams,
Love's realm once we welcomed, now we are but squatters!
What was once the beauty of our love now rests in tatters.
Fate decrees, deeper misery seas and only that matters!

NOTE- An old sonnet that had note written-"To be edited"..
PRESENTED WITH NO EDITS as I now think it needs none...
And no ten syllable count adhered to.
