Infidelity

First lie sees the danger.
First touch welcomes the shame.
First betrayal sears the heart.
Once
is
Never
Once.
The world is not itself
when love has no address.
Lust is love's tortured lisp.
It impales the soul.

Louis Harris

Siyaduma	WOW! Once is never once... love the line. Love has no address... I like that one too. But one question I have. Is it the acceptable norm to disregard rhythm and rhyme in short poems? Points 4 - Pretty close to perfect. I was captivated	2008-01-05
Louis	Siya - thanks for the comment.  Free form poetry, open poetry - call it what you will, relies on prose and a particular beauty of words without rhyme. Perfectly acceptable.  Try it.	2008-01-06
