Just a note

Poet of the Light creative writing October 19, 2021 1 Minute

I’m unsure what to write

But my trembling hands try

To speak for my lost heart

You broke and left behind

When you set out to live our dreams

Minus me

When we fell in love

I didn’t know it meant just for you

I didn’t understand- your toxicity

You’d live for only your truth

You laughed and took all I had

Minus me

You’re a ghost that can’t be loved

And you can’t give love- to anyone

Ice flows through your veins

And your moving lips lie in vain

Like a river that can’t be tamed

Minus us

I broke down before the snick of the door

I never gave away my imploding

I realized all your love was mimicked

You stole my heart, not my soul

Slowly I’ll become a burning rage

Minus you

You only play your childish games

But I’ll only really play for keeps

And my heart will live love eventually

In new dreamy days far from your lips

And far, far from your broken soul

Minus you

Minus you … from me

I’m a deep visualizing poet creating particular facets, not only line by line, but even the shades and innuendo's between them; to the point that, I can get so comfortably caught up in my imaginations first imperfect draft that I sometimes just move in to stay there… rhetorical, spelling, grammar, mechanics be damn, nothing in life is that perfect. I don’t need tailor made, I need someone/something to fit well enough that it becomes fashionable for me to wear well. I don’t need to pretend to know everything and I resist pontificating those things I’m well versed in. I'm just a simple romantic at heart waiting on a perfect storm to completely sweep over me like a gentle fresh dawn. In the meantime, I write meaningful (to me) poetry from my heart and share it here. I tend to approach everyone a friend, until they demonstrate something different. I enjoy having creative exchanges with other like minds artist, writers. Thank you for reading, commenting and your visit. I appreciate all the feedback (good or bad) you care to offer. Feel free to reach out by email for private exchanges if you wish. View all posts by Poet of the Light
