A Petticoat Diary

A Petticoat  ( female ) Diary/..........By Sami Khalil

(She lived in hope , died in despair)

Her desire to be loved and to love for there were no suitors for marriage.

Based on a true story when I was growing up

)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

On those days...

She dances like wild flowers

fluted by dulcet tones

gazing in sweet sorrow

upon utter solaces.

She, who passed star-lights

became a shadow of under-toned shimmers

wandering through life's wild affections

where heavy sighs became her measured void

looking for bucolic warm glows silhouetted 

in sweet sensations.

On those nights...

She cradles dreams in tender desires

in a veil of bashful smiles

where the indelible ink is saved 

for someone special...for keeps.

Still, she deserves a golden ring

and a clandestine house with stepping

stones to paradise of petaled gardens

where love is tickled to death for eternity.

On those months...

She survives in timeless beauty

brush-stroking the outlines of

her erasable heart, looking for 

hands to recreate her rapture d joy

living on just because; of fantasies 

on rainy afternoons with no parasols

losing herself in the chill of winters.

On those years...

Constellations glow brightly

and dim softly in sashays of dusted

apparitions when she dances her

last dance!

On those diaries...

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

A woman's soul. Why does she have to die in despair?

When only hope could make one live and the chance and time is not that kind to let her feel she has to wait for another period of time, perhaps she'll wish to live. But if time doesn't allow, and the physical body is weakened by countinous pain...will she live forever waiting for that love to come into her life?

A sad diary.

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

You have dipped into the well of the woman's soul with this one... There were many great lines and a strong concept. The idea was quite sad, but in the bitterness there was sweetness as well. Soft, sublime and yet strong as well. I shall think on this one for some time....

[Poetic Beauty]

As humans we desire companionship. We long to find someone to be with til the end of our days. Having that great romance. I love the emotions and thoughts poured out into this piece showing the world that being single isn't always as appealing and others might think.

This poem expresses sadness in a beautiful way. Also, it has an interesting title.

Great imagery! Your vocabulary is outstanding.

By far your best, and my personal favorite of yours. So well written with beautiful imagery, and the artwork just adds that special touch.

on rainy afternoons with no parasols

losing herself in the chill of winters."......LOVE THIS!!!
