This Heart of Mine

No love to share this heart of mine;
just one glass in which to pour the wine.
Cold empty space now fills the bed
where once you laid your weary head
and silence reigns in deafening tone,
the sound of laughter turned to stone.

One toothbrush now stands all alone
by a missing bottle of your cologne
and the fridge is full of meals for one;
no point in cooking now you’re gone.

No heart with which my heart to twine

Oh well, at least the wine’s all mine !




**an older write of mine

i enjoyed your poem. i loved the flow of it. have you ever considered trying to write sonnets. looking at the way you rhyme, i think that you would be good at it. or at least you might enjoy the challenge of trying to perfect the form. keep sharing your work with us. thanks.
