Poet of the week

This weeks Poet of the Week goes to the very deserving +IGL Limited for his consistently amazing poetry and fantastic presence within the community. Well done, always a pleasure to read your work.

My Princess Black

The man told his lover, please heal my heart,
Each time I need your love yes, give enough,
Tears fell from his eyes as she tried to part,
She replied this is for treating me rough.

As she made up her mind to forgive him,
He carried her things back inside real fast,
Everyone always thought that he would win,
The other day she shared a darker past.

His friend next door asked him to let her leave,
He could not sacrifice a better fling,
He still feel himself calming some bad breeze,
The two ladies are closer, spreading wings.

He fit a piece to her puzzle then glue,
Only if he had a clue who she knew.
