Today I watched
'Becoming Jane' "A biographical portrait of a pre-fame Jane Austen and her
romance with a young Irishman" and after being reduced to tears yet again,
I wrote this poem to capture the emotions in the closing scenes.
A Jane Austen inspired poem
These eyes tell a
story of sadness
Of haste and love,
unrequited
Bestowed on you,
most unwanted
These feelings are
strong as ever
And do not
diminish with tears
Thought they are
plenty and free flowing
Through glazed
eyes
I see a dull
unfulfilling world
A plastered smile
controlling
I am so
tantalisingly tormented
Twisting words and
playing thoughts
I am deceived by
my own
Most inappropriate
lustful thoughts
Reliant on friends
for news
Listening for a
glimmer of hope or redemption
I have lost you,
and thereafter myself
