The Holy Trinity, divine,

lends His name to Shakespeare’s shrine,

where song-lark ministers to those

whose choral aspirations rose.

Yet underneath the polished sheen

lurks anything but grace serene;

as #battered souls still reel in pain

from that song-lark’s “lovely” refrain.

Self-doubt creeps in—
is this somehow my fault?
Perhaps I was never enough
for him.

I wanted it to be perfect—
love overcoming the din.
was I truly
so stifling?

Me too. 😢

😊 Thank you.

Absorbed by you,

until there was no me—

only me with you,

in you,

as One.

So who will I be,
when there is no longer a ‘we’,

because you were never

#absorbed in me?

“Wouldn’t you rather not know?”
His words were a gut-wrenching blow.
I shouldn’t have seen
That message obscene
To the mistress who stole all our glow!

But sometimes you really should pay attention to your gut feeling.

You are too kind. 🙏

#emoetry #poetry #unassertive

transparency is not
for the faint of heart
or those in need of a rationale
they may use to defend
their miscalculation
when make-believe
comes to an end

How masterfully
she’d encourage you
to rage against your life.

How seductively
she’d persuade you
to unstitch from your wife.

How tenaciously
she’d compel you
to turn from all we’d share—

slowly, deliberately,
under the guise of care.

#vss365 #poetry #poem

You were my #energy,
my zest for life,
my comfort when the world brought strife.
My reason to live,
my reason to dream,
my emotional boost when I felt #unseen.
My hope for the future,
my love of the past—
you were the one that was meant to last.

“You’ve felt this way all along..”

Your voice changed—
A semitone sharper,
An edge that pierced,
I said.

In my ear
I could hear
Her.

Right there.

The semi-soprano—
She of that consecrated place—
Invading
Our #sacred space.

Will you be #offended
If I #hover ’round your husband?
Just a bit, just for fun,
Can’t we share?

Yes, I’ll be offended
If you hover ’round my husband.
Please desist with that smile
And that stare.

Creepy! 😬

Thank you 😊
I’m a bit behind now.

Neath twisted bough of Arden’s shade,

As Avon’s silver waters braid,

The #manly, with his soul betrayed,

Doth tread a path in sorrow laid.

The oaks sing of a sacred trust,

Now broken, rotting into dust;

As angel of the anthem’s thrust

Conspires with shadow, chill, and lust.

Is this my wilderness—
my arid desert,
where I am deserted,
with you?

Why will I not let myself

be #liberated from this hell?

What’s wrong with me—

oh, pray do tell—

I don’t enjoy

his ‘kiss, don’t tell’!

Yes, because I was pregnant I didn’t want to force it and cause an infection so I just left it. That was 24 years ago.

She’s found a new #verve in religion,
Says she’s sorry; shows outward contrition.
But she wore Apple red,
As the church she did wed—
So was she confirmed with conviction?
