How Terrible To Be Separated From One’s Love (Acrostic)

March 12, 2014

Poetry

How terrible to be separated from one’s love,

Oceans mocking with their insurmountable gauntlet;

Praying on the tender heart as if expendable.

Elicit my wrath you vile beast!

Love conquers all or so the saying goes,

End your repeated assaults on star-crossed lovers

So that those destined to be united might consume.

Save your sour vengeance for hell,

Releasing us to our burning desires.

Over your objections we shall conquer.

My steel shall slaughter your thirst

And leave us to our own destiny.

Neither man nor beast shall stand in our path,

This I vow until my last breath.

I love you, shall be written in the stars

Completing our journey destined by the Creator.

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

AUTHOR’S NOTE: This poem was inspired by Julian Froment and the poem he posted today to his love, Ionia Martin. I have found it very sad that these two people have to live separate lives when they are obviously destined to be together. I hope that whatever is keeping them apart is resolved very soon.

I been told I can’t miss what I’ve never had. Once unconditional love became a reality for me, being apart is a living hell on earth.

  That is the way that it works, I would rather have a little “hell on earth” than to never have unconditional love become a reality.

  I’m so glad Ionia. I was debating whether I should post this or not since I didn’t ask you before hand. I’m happy that you took it in the spirit that it was intended and I think the world of both of you and wish you only the best.

  I am very glad that you liked it. I really do feel bad for both of you. I don’t know the details of the issue nor should I, but I don’t think this should happen to anybody. I wish you both the best and hope that things get resolved very soon.

  I appreciate that, Ionia and Julian are two wonderful people who I feel very sad for because of their separation. Hopefully soon they will be together.
