This is my first entry for D’verse,so am hoping that I am doing it right :-)Here is my poem ,inspired by the above artwork.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Love- served cold
His warm, impassioned bear hug
moves her not
cold, indifferent
she plucks
at his grasping arms.
Her alabaster beauty is to behold
but her icy heart is already sold
no passion can enfold
her growing love for gold-
her eyes have that faraway look
lofty dreams
her beacon.
Beseechingly,
he calls her name
a plea in his upturned eyes
black pools of emptiness
meet his gaze-
his aching heart
shattering
in a meteor
of pain.
He knows not what his life will be
loneliness was not his
chosen destiny-
love unrequited,
a broken heart
he moans for that
which never was!

Welcome to dVerse! Always nice to meet a new poet. Your poem, to me, expressed the sadness of indifferent or one-sided love. Unrequited love is a great sadness, and I think we can all look back and feel a bit of sadness for what never was in our lives. Hope to get to know you from week to week through your words!!
Thank you Mary-what a lovely compliment!Am so happy it struck a chord-yes,unrequited love is heart breaking!Will look forward to knowing you all incredible people too & learning from you all:-)Off to check your entry:-)
