The #wound settles in—
deep, insistent,
margins fixed,
resistant,
hollowed out
and raw.

He sleep-walks into

a fantasy realm,

dreaming of laughter

and loveliness flouncing,

of shining song

and candlelight bouncing,

stained-glass glimmer

so softly dancing—

for him
:
a #lambent delight.

Did you think

it was your right

to bring such #pain

to others’ lives?

Do you have a #soul in there…

a #shadow soul

with bleach-blonde hair.

The rug has been pulled,

my life’s in the air.

The core of my being

is whirling — nowhere.

My spirit’s in turmoil,

I writhe with the pain.

To banish these ghosts,

must I start life again?

#vss365 #poetry

I realised back then

that something was wrong.

I hadn’t yet heard

she was singing my song.
Her notes cast a #shadow,

subtly blue-grey.

Her smile—my torment,
as our #soul bled away.

Upright clump of weeping snowdrops on barked ground.

Pink wild cyclamen with heart shaped leaves.

Violet crocuses with bright orange stamens sitting in grass.

Today I was treated to my first sighting of #crocuses, daffodils, hellebores and #cyclamen as well as my second sighting of #snowdrops so far this year.

It fills my senses,
His sound, his scent, his flow,
The rhythm of life,
The #thrum of his soul.
His breath will #soothe me
With lies I’ll not know.

Our life shall #wane
As skies cry pain
In sheets of rain
In my back yard.
It’s still a game
Mere broken shard—
All we retain.

hidden
in plain sight.

in friendly smiles,
and songs of praise,
and
apparent agape.

faith turned
from
refuge into shame.
no longer love;
#ruse: a duplicitous game.

This is beautifully done. Love it.
❤️❤️❤️

Barely clinging on—
Perhaps I’ll slip away,
Into the deepest blue,
Into the Orwell bay.

You carried a thread
Not meant to be woven—
A thread of destruction,
A thread poorly chosen.
Your thread brought betrayal,
Your thread held pure lies;
Your thread wove a pattern
All souls would despise.

You stand in church
proudly, lips pursed,
singing of Ransom
paid for the cursed.
Yet in grey eyes
uncertainty lies.
Are sins washed away
while she still cries
e a c h day?

Feelin' a bit on the huh t'day, buh.
Head all a-muddle,
tummy gone funny,
’cos o’ that rum’un
what took all my sunny.

#vss365 #poetry #bravewrite

What if, after all this—
years kept in the dark,
years of uncertainty,
years feeling small—
I found some self-respect?

I did not stoop so low.
Why, then, am I to blame?

#foxprose #poetry

The dreamy call.
 The careless fall.
  The sin.
   The duplicitous spin.
    No one could win.

Five rings of the bell—
 It would not end well.

He liked that she liked him—
That #unmissable smile,
Those mantrap eyes—
Hiding the truth inside.
He risked losing everything
To feed her self esteem,
Abandoning our dream
For her pearl-white, shifty scheme.

A church #official with semi-sop tones,
Conducts her choir among holy stones.
Code of conduct #ignored,
With hitched tenor she soared—
Gliss for bliss in their own private homes.

Thank you 😊

He adorns her with time,
time he did not have to give,
time that was never hers to take.

Time sitting heavy at her hands,
tick, tick, ticking—
the mark of absence.

She wears it with pride,
long after their time is up.
A melancholic trophy
masquerading as care.

#emoetry #poetry #heartbroken

Heart-broken,
Body-broken,
Mind-broken,
Soul-broken.

Broken—
beyond repair…

And you
are not even there.

Thank you. They were quite dramatic.🙂

Dramatic cloud scene. Dark grey above. Fluffy white below. Streaky in between.
