Deceptively Beautiful!

"Unknown"
My small coin collection!!

Dismissed in Love and Hatred too,
She lay in disregard of her heavy heart,
Thinking maybe she could con him too,
And have a opulent but fresh start!

She knew not sorrow bounds itself,
To swindle, larceny, lust and theft!

  1. sorrow can def lead us down a path...
    and especially when wronged, our need for justice
    can bring us to places just as bad
    as how we were hurt....emotions
    cloud our judgement.

  4. This sounds like a relationship one would not desire to have with the conning and larceny and theft.

  5. You have portrayed a very plotting mind quite effectively! It seems it is better not to be around once she puts her plan into action.

  7. Revenge is a dish best served cold; one must let the emotions ebb before the stratagem can be properly planned. Very nice take on the prompt; got my juices flowing.

  8. Unique! What sharp humour catching some of the foibles of those wronged! Some really delicious lines there ..actually all, 'An opulent fresh start was delightful' - and set the tone!

  12. I am sorry, Arushi Ahuja, but i don't get it. I see a heart broken woman wanting revenge, but your message is impossible to grasp. The two last lines of your poem says nothing.
