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!
