a
porcelain heart
sacred
as a brilliant star
breakable as glass

believe
peel
away my layers
to
reveal my beating core
kiss
my lips making
me
feel alive once more
take
my hand leading me out
of
darkness into rising suns
let
us linger among stars
dreaming
about how things
could
be if we only believe

far-flung star
a
far-flung star
you
were to me
twinkling
in sky
out
of my reach
I
gave you the moon
to
ensnare your heart
gladly
given more
to
be your star
instead
you stayed
just
a mere fantasy
and
never to return
my kisses and pleas- Inspired by Poetic Aside Poetry Prompt#516-star poem and posted for dVerse OLN

between two heartbeats
between
two heartbeats
I
hold in my breath
waiting
for cards to fall
with
each passing second
anxiety
builds like a storm
waiting
to breakout
between
two heartbeats
time
comes to a standstill
I
momentarily lose myself
when
the heartbeat returns
life
comes crashing back
worries
now lost in waves

what am I to you?
am
I just a rose
in
your garden
to
be picked
when
my petals
turn
dark?
you
are the sun
in
my blue sky
the
light that
warms
my skin
and
dry my tears

some days
some
days fill me
with
dread –
mountains
of papers
at
work
some
days fill me
with
nostalgia –
lazy
Sunday under
a
warm sun
some
days fill me
with
hope –
a
text message
confirming
a date
but
some days
just
leave me
empty
and drained

lady
brown
and white
long
floppy ears
with
short legs
a
hunting dog
you
were to be
you
became
a
pet to me
feeding
you
taking
walks
in
the evenings
then
you were
gone
into the
forest’s
mist
an
ending to
my
pet days

love was for children
love
was for children she told me
I
wanted to believe each word
but
my heart wouldn’t let me see
love
was for children she told me
although
my brain fully agreed
what
I felt caused boundaries to blur
love
was for children she told me
I
wanted to believe each word
