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!

    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.

    oy - revenge is always a dangerous thing cause it can get us stuck with all our emotions in a whirl that is not easy to escape..

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

    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.

    She sounds like someone with an ax to grind ~ Beware of a woman scorned in love ~

    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.

    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!

    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.

      its all right Anders-
      the last two lines- the path of deception theft larceny and swindle leads to sorrow!! in a gist
      i hope its more clear now!

    Money can lead to a lot of evil and problems in life! Rightly so Arushi!
