Open Armed

Layin down this heavy sword for a spell,
Dropping these rusty gauntlets of shame.
A shadow cast thought I knew so well.,
Layin down this heavy sword for a spell.
Open arms long for hugs, but who can tell..
Love left a heart broken yet whole again.
Layin down this heavy sword for a spell,
Dropping these rusty gauntlets of shame.

This triolet speaks volumes to me dear Quoth. The fact that you are whole again means that you can be a writer of golden quill, and you are, stay true to yourself, brilliant moth, :)

Aysha, Thank you and welcome to PoetrySoup. Very rare to meet one that carries a spcial name meaning "prosperous" or "alive and well". I wish both for you. -Richard
