My Bleeding Heart

bedazzled by jewels 
beguiled by the gem of you~
diamond eternal

as fake gold duals
alloys mix unbanding two~
with flames infernal   

tears drowning in pools
blinders tunnel, love eschews~
so notes my journal  
                                   
Love is
Surrounded by Monarch butterflies, 
on migration 
A tingling in your gut
does not defy
A warmness flutters inside
When flowers perfume
When you are near
You feel the same, I shall assume

Love hurts
When rubies now rhinestones,
dullen,  sullen
Diamonds now glass,
cutting deep
Pollen smothers,
I swallow my sorrows
 
My bleeding heart
Let’s stay together
Dowse the drought
Better a diamond with a flaw
than a pebble without

Duke Beaufort Date: 2/15/2025 1:39:00 PM Anaya, an interesting sequence of feeling, which many of us have experienced for real. My brain keeps telling me there is perfection to have, but my experience keeps telling me that if I believe that, I am crazy. Smiles!! Login to Reply I Am Anaya Date: 2/16/2025 10:58:00 AM I'd rather be CrAzy than never have felt the imperfection of love! Making me smile too.

Robert Gorelick Date: 2/15/2025 12:15:00 PM I'm sure your bloody heart will heal, remember never pick the scab, lol. Beautifully written. I'm also sure that indubitably your Valentine's Day garnered all the adorations and love which you so deservedly merited! My best to you, Robert Login to Reply I Am Anaya Date: 2/16/2025 10:56:00 AM Scab's are far and few between, lol. Martinelli's Pear Cider sparkled and raspberry croissants help heal the wounds, try it! You know it ;)
