Poet Tacito Poet Prose

Her Song

My butterflies began to smile again.

They felt the breadth of her octaves
Caress my scarring tissue

Please forgive me.
Please
Forgive me

I lost myself.

It was the first time in many weeks
That my heart smiled
With such enamored caution

I ached to slow dance with her apologies,
As she sang to me
With her hazel renditions
Unspoken

Our teardrops buckled 
Under the weight
Of silenced reflection

I thought I could make it through tomorrow
By removing you from my yesterdays
But, today, I now see I was wrong

She quietly cried upon my tattered arms
Pressing her moistened sadness
Against my elastic grin

“Tomorrow can be for us again.”

It was then
The stars outside my bedroom window
Faded towards reality’s sunrise

Was this dream
All that it seemed

Brandy Nicole October 23, 2018 at 1:47 PM Words are a reflection of love, of moments caressing a dream. Perhaps- the truth that circles reality. Your thoughts are tender, beautiful and they hold so many emotions. I am wrapping them gently around me. ~ Brandy Poet Tacito October 24, 2018 at 10:47 AM Thank you kindly, Brandy. I'm very grateful for you taking the time to get to know me a tad.
