Rogue Lover Poem by John Sensele

When a rogue lover behaves as though
She is the only fish in a competitive pond
It's time to move on with your life although
A modicum of mercy regardless of how much dough
Mends bridges and how much conciliatory efforts blow
Away winds of discord and to which initiative
Both parties wholeheartedly and determinedly give
Their best shot and how much residue of resentment
Swirls in the vortex of the affair to improve
Prospects of complete healing through an ancient ointment.
