On This Lover's Day

he strung his heart upon a cloud for all the world to see he stole my heart, broke it twice then gave it back to me all these pieces raining down gathered on the lawn sit along a lonely path on this misty dawn my eyes now cry in crimson hues my heart it sings of somber blues and on this night my favorite day my words now know not what to say for silence speaks then echoes back as this day fades against the black (I am fine... just musing)

Sandra, I think this would make a good Country song - do you play guitar? I love the color contrast of crimson hues / somber blues. A lovely, mournful, sad write. I know your muse takes you that direction often, but nice to know you're doing fine - well done. Hugs ~ John

Sandra, That is some fine musing on such a lover's day. Bittersweet for the heart that bears an unrequited passion. But I always preferred one bright candle to the glaring of the Sun. -Richard

Your 'just musing' has resulted in a real big FAVE for me, Sandra. Wow! I really like this one. Keep on musing, as they say. Warm wishes from cold Chicago! :) gw

lol...my muse loves her sad writes....I am sure some really hate this day and can't wait for it to be gone... it was always one of my favorite holidays but many others hated it... it doesn't effect me either way anymore, just another day... hugs

Sadly for many, they can't wait for the day to be over. I entered a poem my only valentine in Brians contest N, to try and show the darker side of valentines day. Hope you had a lovely day Tom

I will have to see if I can find it... this has always been my favorite holiday but I know many hate it because their hearts of filled with pain and emptiness... hugs

The worst nightmare for the heart is when it expects the best to happen but the worst prevails! Very powerful writing! Fortunately here it represents a fictitious situation but alas so many times is true dearest, Sandra! Hugs xxx

Thank you Gordon....I don't know why it decided to fall in rhyme but that's just my muse sometimes.... hugs

Also glad you noted that it wasn't about you, at least not in the present as it seemed to me drawn from past truth. Well done.

I think most people have had at least one broken heart in their life...the first line was haunting my muse and I just let the words fall... thanks for reading and commenting :)

Thank you so much Connie...it was very cloudy here and as I was driving the clouds kept looking like hearts as they rolled by...I couldn't take pictures while driving but my muse started singing that first line, the rest just kind of came... Happy Valentine's Day to you XoXo
