With This Wine

by La Reina De Corazones   Sep 6, 2012


Staring down this half-empty bottle of wine,
Its clear redness reminds off all too many mistakes in my past,
Is it any wonder to anyone with half a mind,
How much pain I hold within?,
Or the fact that I'll devour the rest of this bittersweet liquid down????

My boyfriend and I together at Valentine's Day,
Never even thinking much of what fate had in store for us,
Just living day by day,

Then this summer came around and he and I made plans,
In those plans there was supposed to be a ring involved,
Soon me and him would be wed till death do us part,

Cause of a caring heart within me he now lays in a comatose state,
For nearly 4 weeks I burry my soul in the ground,
Letting the joker queen out to the world ,
For they would only see a woman not yet broken down,
While I kept the lie up with every strenth I had in me

My dark prince nearly dead,
Thy heart long since numb of all the pain,
A pretty doll smiling to the bloody world,

Baby blue eyes staring with not a single light in them,
With this toast I bid thee farewell,
Maybe in the future I will finally have peace,
With this wine!

    Another enjoyable piece, too bad wine doesn't cure anything though! Except momentary blues...they always return! lol

    The first couple of stanzas read like a diary entry and (for me) lacked some flow and poetic zest. I liked your emotion and get what your trying to convey, but I like my poems a bit more abstract and not so trite. Just not my style...4 stars. thanks for sharing

    Wow this is so very dark, yet it shines beautifully because of your talent!! I loved reading it, Your descriptions were vivid, as I could imagine everything happening stanza by stanza.

    This is my favorite part of the poem.. I love how you write "letting the joker queen out to the world, for they would only see a woman not yet broken down."...

    To me, this basically expresses you putting up a fake persona to the world so that everyone around does not know how hurt you truly are.. Great poem, amazing expression and details..
