Until never

You came with brightness
a sunrise to my night
in your laughter lightness
a smile that made it right

You made me summer
thawing to my frozen mind
in your kisses slumber
caresses turned me kind

believing in forever
until we turned to never.

Man and Woman I
Edvard Munch

Today Lilian hosts dVerse Quadrille and the word is Sunrise. Just add the rest of the words into a 44 word poem.

  1. Opposites attract,,,but what luck it is to find someone who complements, soothes, brings out the vest in one, makes them a better person, or brings them out of their cave…rare people have that gift,

  2. I knew through every line the turn was coming. I know your writing well, and there cannot be a happy ending. 🙂

  3. I fell into the seductive words then came the heartache at the end. You do like to add a plot twist in your poetry and you do it well.

  4. Yep, that lasst word ‘never’ hit home hard, like the rebuff between the lovers in the Munch print you included so tellingly… What a cunning quadrille, so clever.

  5. I read all of the quadrilles from last to first … so glad you were last …. I enjoyed it best.
