Flipped Hourglass

Emotions vibrate through the heavens Crying out desirous of a love Beseeching it’s warm embrace Yet it goes unfelt, unheard, unanswered Hope for a pragmatic love just a dream Expectations being preconceived For the universe could not grasp the greatness of her yearning, This she had come to grips with Because surely none could provide fulfillment Melancholy settles over her, as she carefully wraps her love, back up in the ribbons of longing , placing it into a box of disappointment Sitting upon her bed of sorrow, absent of emotions For tears dried up years ago and only out of habit did she release its vibration into the heavens Like a flipped hourglass time seemed never to advance For she knew she would remain a castaway on this island where love seemed not welcomed 2/3/22 Sponsored by: Edward Ibeh
