Love Succumbs
written by: Ladybug
Love abandons itself to hearts entwined
And makes its way to a place enchanted.
Love succumbs to emotions beguiling
And leaves the lovers always smiling.
Love is an arrow which darts to the heart.
It enraptures the senses and leaves a mark.
Love succumbs to an orchestrated melancholy
Love overtakes the heart; that is its folly.
Love knows no boundaries and seduces the heart.
Never will love’s flight go impeded and captured.
Love succumbs to bitter-sweet tantalizing scorn,
While it begins again on tomorrow morn.
I am a seventy-year-old writer, having been writing over forty years. I was previously published by Catholic Digest, Our Sunday Visitor, Sisters Today, Make 4 Fun and Back Porch Magazine. I had two children’s stories published by Bread ‘N Molasses. I was the only Southern writer in the Our Sunday Visitor Christmas writing contest in 2007. I am having two children’s audio books and two articles published in 2023. Although I reside in Oregon with my daughters and two cats, I have lived most of my life in Louisiana. I also do logic puzzles and design graphics. My ‘Southern Belle’ charm comes through in my writings.
