As I heard him declaring his departure
He shot an arrow as miraculously as an archer
Listening to his bizarre words, I was on my knees
Possessed no strength to hear, smell, touch or see
I watched him parting in the dark rainy night
Wishing a final goodbye with a vivid smile radiating light
I strolled home single-handedly weeping and crying
His words stuttered in my mind – my tears complying
My mum awaiting me at the home’s door
Disguising the ache, the veil of bliss that I wore
She asked me where was I?
I sighed and told her a lie
How can I tell her it was a lad?
Who deceived and took everything I had?
My numb body directing my senses to the way to my room
Thoughts ruled my mind and soul – this appalling doom
I cursed myself for being in love as a dope
There was no rainbow after this rain, no bliss and no hope
He left me for the sake he was done
Likewise, he is going to find another one
He is a traitor, a betrayer and a player
Thus ruled my heart for an eternity as a mayor
Depression and distress was now the food to my soul
I salute him for his significant triumph to attain his desired goal
One day when no one was in the house
I clasped a knife due to that louse
To Be Continued…
A very sad and ongoing story.
Oh yeah, there is much more to come so stay tuned.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading sincerely 🙂
Peace & Light.
-Naima.
You are more than welcome.
*Smiling*
-Naima.
Wow. Girl. Just wow. I wish to read more, yet. Am afraid. Hugs to you dear. Xo
Thank you so much 🙂
Hugs right back.
-Naima.
Stupendous…!!! Its beautifully written, at the same time sad to go though it.
through* – sorry for the typo 😛
It’s perfectly fine 🙂
-Naima.
Wait for the third part sweets, I hope i wqont let you down.
Thank you 🙂
-Naima.
you certainly set this one up nicely. i didn’t expect that ending but can see why. i would have to say that players can be equally be of either gender. i do identify with the feel here because i’ve seen plenty of male players in my time. nicely done naima:)
Hey Don,
I wonder if you are not writing poetry or I am not getting the updates. Will check on your blog-site just now.
Yeah, I know what you mean. But this ain’t the ending – few parts still to come and there was Part I too, if you wish to read. Though I wont blame males to be the players always as women at times leaves men behind in this but males are specifically highlighted!
There are my poems with the other-way scenario too.
Thank you for the appreciation.
-Naima.
i’ve got some catching up to do with notifications here. probably get to them after work. i will get to your first one. i can see you’ve seen my latest one. i haven’t been posting daily as i was. it’s coming slower, still looking at older stuff while new stuff sits in the brain.
Wow! You are too kind to reply to me first (lol) – but all I want to say is your old stuff is always catching and may I ask why is the new stuff sitting in your brain, let it out hero! (lol)
-Naima.
Very powerful images. Made my heart ache, for most of us have experienced this type of betrayal at one time or another along the way. What doesn’t kill us DOES truly make us, if not stronger hopefully at least, a bit wiser. If this is you and not a ‘story’ I applaud the courage to share it an keep going on. much love and I look forward to reading more. z
Hey Beth,
It is always an honor for me when you visit my site and spare some time to comment. It always brings a smile on my face. Thank you for giving this poem a feel by interpreting and merging it with your thoughts that are of course a lesson for me as you are much much mature!
It is not my story though I think I have been betrayed too by many and somehow my feelings are wrapped within too. If you like to read the first part, here goes the link https://globalunison.wordpress.com/2012/09/22/betrayal-part-i/ . The third part is on its way! Thank you for liking and appreciating. You always make my day wonderful!
With love,
-Naima.
thanks so much Naima, you always make my day as well. look forward to part III and will check out the link. blessings and peace to you sweet one. z
The Part III is up for reading. Check it out if you wish to read right now.
See you, keep smiling.
-Naima.
Better join as a script writer in Hollywood movie or you can start writing books…You gotta bright future 🙂 Make sure to appoint me as your Personal Assistant(PA) 🙂
Hahaha 😀
Really?? You need to read other Word-Press talented writers too, my dear one to decide that! Anyway, I am sure to make you my PA – after all then you can enjoy travelling and food majorly of different places! lol
-Naima.
Everyone are talented. It’s all about picking the right field and proving it..Even for that you need to get permission from your dear one 🙂 Yes i do love traveling and very majorly food as you wish 🙂
My dear one?? (LOL) Now you are kidding me!!
By the way, how do you think one can choose the right field?
-Naima.
Yup 🙂 You had mentioned in your previous reply….Work hard to get what you like or else you will be force to like of what you get 🙂 Simple..
Goodness! Such an attentive reader you are! I’m impressed! (wink)
-Naima.
Not as other readers who play with words…Am just a beginner 🙂
You can give it a try too [Smiling]
-Naima.
If you’re going to teach me i will try 🙂
I am not so good at haiku.. you need to ask Celeste to help you [lol]
-Naima.
I am a good reader rather than experimenting with words 🙂 I always enjoy being of what i am 🙂
I think you should try! After all making an attempt is worth the efforts required!
-Naima.
But i don’t like to make an effort because am poor in writing to be frank 🙂
You aren’t at all! I have seen your samples in my comments! Especially your participation in Betrayal posts [wink]
-Naima.
Plenty of difference between commenting and writing 🙂 commenting requires smartness in answering and writing requires innovations, skills and effort 🙂 Did i participation betrayed anyone in betrayal post 🙂
Hahaha..
Chill! It is just that you are smart enough to write too if you can comment – simple as that!
-Naima.
Hot!!! People are making me smart enough to handle the situation 🙂 agree !!! If you teach me on basics..i would give a try for sure 🙂
Sure… There are certain rules:
1) Select a topic
2) Express your thoughts
3) Justify your opinion
4) Proofreading
You have a way to go then, dude [winking]
-Naima.
Sure..Thanks 🙂 I can do the first 3 things…but not good in proof reading 🙂
I can do that for you, dear.
-Naima.
Thank you 🙂 Let me choose a topic and will let you know 🙂
I’m waiting!!
-Naima.
I will post a general topic in my blog..maybe tomorrow…In case if you find any mistakes or errors..kindly let me know..Thanks 🙂
No problem! [smiling]
-Naima.
Thank you with pleasure 🙂
You’re always welcome, my dear friend.
-Naima.
🙂

-Naima.

I follow that Celeste’s blog-site! You are right, her haikus are way too awesome! (smiling)
-Naima.
Yup 🙂
OMG! You wrote it so well. I just wish it does not become anybody’s reality ever.
It was somebody’s reality – I hope it never repeats itself as someone’s reality but it is so very impossible. At times, we take humans for granted!
-Naima.
I agree!
Ouch!
Powerful and wonderful.
You are too kind to say that 🙂
-Naima.
You got me on my nerves 😉
When I read that last two lines, I scrolled and found the part has ended, and I was like, Oh damn! Why you had to put an end right there.
Ummm.. Cause it was necessary! Left you in curiosity eh? 😉
Anyway, hope ya will like the next part! It is up for you to read 🙂
-Naima.
yeah I’ll just do!

Awesome way with words.
Thank you so very much, “awesome” is so not a British word, since I have arrived here, at least I got to know that! lol
Warm Greetings,
-Naima.
“Awesome” is an American word, which I picked up from communicating with Americans. I like the word, so I use it. “Fabulous” would be a British word equivalent to “Awesome” but with less of the excitement.
Haha.. I know.. Even slang varies! It is difficult to settle up in UK when I have spend few years of my life time in States but it is gonna be alright with time! 🙂
-Naima.
Give it a year, you may even get a British accent 🙂
Haha.. I don’t doubt it if I am gonna stick to my British friends too much! lol
-Naima.
