BRAVADO

BRAVADO

Braving loosed missiles
Reeling from loveless shots
After Love's pain-filled exit
Vain hope let me down
Again I'm rejected,
Dejected and forlorn.
O stand up, My Heart!

Just like that Flaming Phoenix, I have picked myself up
time and time again from the ashes. Some natural flora areas need wildfires
to release seeds that bring new life to devastation.
If someone pushes you in the mud, it's their fault.
If you stay down, it's not their fault. I decided to do whatever was possible, not impossible. 
O Stand Up, My Heart!

Thank you for the encouragement, Silent One! - I'm going to follow in your Poetic footsteps, and try different Poetic forms... As invigorating as learning to mix a new colour palette... And I have made a commitment to standing my ground. Heartwarming comment... (((Warm Hugs)))
