A Glimpse Into The Romantic

 

 

LOVE’S COCOON

 

“The King of Marmont,” my guiding light,

A name I bestowed upon him, that very night.

Longtime friends, our paths intertwined,

But one lovely night, our hearts aligned.

I called him my king from the very start

And he called the queen,

The Queen of his heart,

Accomplished and humble, a rare combination,

He listened to my dreams, with pure adoration.

An artist, a genius,

a king of the land.

I was captivated by him,

his stories so grand,

Together we embraced the words of verse,

Cuddling in our love’s cocoon, immersed.

A magical duo, our love on display,

Reading poetry united, in a poetic ballet.

In his arms, I found solace and peace,

A love so rare, a bond that won’t cease.

We danced in the realms of love’s fantasy,

The King of Marmont, and his Queen, so happily.

 

 

MY LOST KING

 

In the realm of memories, I lost a king

The day he asked me to wear his ring.

He, the King of Marmont, my cherished

companion,

But reflection reveals a heart too quick to

abandon.

A genius, crafting marvels with his mind,

Unraveling mysteries, truths he helped me find.

An artist, with strokes of brilliance and grace,

Creating beauty, leaving a lasting trace.

Drawn by his humble grace, people approached

with awe,

A gentle spirit, adorned with love’s tender draw.

We dreamt of forever as our dreams took flight,

Diamond rings gleamed, at Harry Winston’s,

shining bright.

Pain fills my heart for the way we ended

A bittersweet farewell, our spirts to be mended.

Yet, his beauty lingers, an eternal flame,

An inspiration that shall never wane.

The echoes of our conversations, so divine.

Forever etched in the beauty of time.

A star you are, illuminating the night sky,

Guiding lost souls, whispering reasons why.

But it was the ex, Nadia, who stole my thoughts,

Her lingering love for him tied me in knots,

At first, she embraced me, a newfound friend,

Tea and ballet, our bond we did intend.

Yet, as she dropped off the kids, my eyes couldn’t

stray,

Observing their moments, day after day,

One day, Nadia arrived, adorned in allure,

Hair styled perfectly, makeup flawless and pure.

A revealing dress, bronzed skin, jewelry that

gleamed,

“I have a date tonight,” she whispered, it

seemed.

Marmont entered, unfazed by her charms,

No hint of jealousy, no cause for alarms,

We both knew her intentions, her desperate plea,

To capture his attention, make him see.

I tried to dismiss it, hoped it was just a phase,

Assured myself she’d move on, change her ways,

But as Marmont spoke of marriage, children,

and more,

The gravity of our love, I couldn’t ignore.

Overheard whispers of hope, innocence so pure,

“What if mommy and daddy reunite?” they’d

inquire,

Holding hands, gazing out the window afar,

Wishing upon stars, their hearts ajar.

I retreated swiftly, not wanting them to see,

My shattered heart, my silent plea,

In that moment, I knew what I must do,

To walk away, to bid my love adieu.

For Nadia’s love still lingered in the air,

And I couldn’t bear to cause her pain & despair,

Though it pained me to leave, to say goodbye,

I had to honor the tears in their kids glinting

eyes.

To him, I humbly confess any wrong,

For any pain I caused, my heart sings this song.

And in my heart, you shall forever reign,

A king, majestic, casting away all pain.
