Keys Unreturned

A fragile heart, a whispered plea, "Take care of it," I laid it bare for thee. Delicate love, a blooming rose, Yet friendship's label is all that you propose.

Keys to my soul, a trust so deep, You held them close, then let them fall asleep. My bleeding heart, a crimson stain, Each careless touch, a searing, searing pain.

What cruel twist, this love I hold so tight? Loved, trusted, open, bathed in love's pure light. No shame in words, my feelings I confessed, But cowardly words left love unblessed.

Ignoring signs, a fool's hopeful plea, Blinded by love's enchanting fantasy. Your way I walked, on eggshells thin, Only to find, a love that wouldn't win.

Pain's bitter grip, a crushing blow, Hoping someday, it won't fester, won't grow. Love, joy and peace, a future yet unseen, Or maybe learn, love's path can be uneven.

One-sided yearning, a teardrop's stain, But through the storm, a heart will learn again. For love's true strength, in time will mend, A stronger you, to love without end.

Sweet was his love

Sweet was his love, draped in honey, garnished with chocolate. Soft was his love, wool stood no chance. I was the marrow in his bone. Oh, how wondrous was his love! He was the sun that shone throughout my day, the gravity that held me down in every way, the smile on my face. I was so lucky to call him my husband. He was hilarious, charming, kind, warm-hearted, smart, sexy – everything a woman could ever dream of. I loved every little thing about him. Loving him was like a dream come true. Then… in a blink of an eye, the man I once knew vanished in the night. Cold flames of truth coursed through the wind. Now, each day the pigment of my skin reminds me of who I am: Black, bold, beaten, dirty, and unclothed. My soul is delightful and my voice is delicate when I beg for scraps. When did I lose my voice? When did you stop seeing me? It's like I'm not there, but I'm right in front of you.  What went wrong, I wonder?  Now the scent of blood feels familiar. The scent of beer and s

Hearts at War

 Last chapter unwritten, a story's sad end, Lovers rarely friends, a truth we can't mend. His message, a whisper, sweet words in the night, Maybe a mistake, but oh, what a sight. Head screams in warning, "Don't fall for his charm," Heart skips a beat, safe in love's warm arm. Love's flame flickers, a battle inside, Head says, "No more," heart can't hide. I crave something grand, a love story untold, But average is all that my hands can hold. He asks for no settling, yet here I remain, Grasping at straws, in love's gentle rain. Enough? Will it ever be truly enough? Or will this yearning be a constant, rough cuff? The answer unclear, the future unseen, But one thing is certain, this love's bittersweet sheen.

Wild Heart, Free Spirit

A tangled web she weaves, a mess so bright, A paradox of beauty, a captivating sight. Adored and scorned, a storm within her eyes, A fire that burns, a spirit that never dies. This mess she wears, a badge of wild delight, Adorable chaos, a captivating light. They crave her presence, a treasure to behold, But fleeting moments, a story yet untold. Love's embers flicker, a guarded, tender flame, Fairytales of forever, a whispered, mocking name. Too sweet the promise, a truth she can't embrace, So she hunts her own fortune, a self-made, fearless pace. No tethered heart for her, no chase, no plea, She hunts for solace, wild and gloriously free. Pursue, entrap her, a game she'll surely win, For only on her terms, her love will let you in. No room for regrets, no dwelling on the past, From every misstep, a lesson learned at last. A defiant spirit, a "no" that means "begin," A world of her own making, where chaos lets her win. Replaceable? Never, a gem beyond co
