In No Particular Order

I wrote a shape poem for this PROMPT: “The Last Word (or Things Left Unsaid)“

.

Anon, you were so beautiful-

bold smile and silky hair,

but those lies, and… her!

Anon, you were wicked,

though oh, we laughed,

& when the drama died

it did so swiftly, with us.

Anon �" so compassionate,

even good, which I hadn’t

earned, at least I thought

not. And when you left,

I didn’t mind.

I understood.

Anon, you were the harsh wind striking sand,

a long road without direction, a cyclone spinning me,

only to spit me out, time after time after time.

You were my open wound

and the handful of salt

you rubbed into it…

& the hole in my tooth,

poisoning my heart

such with delirium

 And after  the spin &

spit, I grew glad, so

glad of your loss.

The hole you left,

which I endured,

now overflows

with a new love:

My own anti-

biotic �" healing

& sword-like,

it renders

 you…

Dead

…

  And so,  it was then…       ….how he came to be, 

to save my sorry self. After the earth turned in revulsion 

to re-examine fates, and found a miracle - deserved or not

- which will never be squandered. Him, the only One with a

name worth calling out. Silvery eyes, a valiant heart,

 vulnerably robust, and who grants, bestows, 

and truly knows… sincere love.  

Oh yes, I will love him,

my David, till the

 end of days. 

Always

First be aware that cut and paste into the writing box at this site can change the random "dash" into a quotation mark - as it dit in your first poem a couple of times. After you press publish you will need to re-read/review your post to see about errors, then use edit and correct them. We all found this out the "hard" way.

I leave challenges to the challenged. The second poem read aloud very well.
