     colder than a shadow cast~

The sun never sets
Over the cholera hit areas
Jilted by the light
The moon agrees to serve
Near extinct mankind...

The moon hangs her mournful head
like a jilted love.
Tears rain... cacaphonic stars.

-my first attempt at a haiku! Enjoy......

I asked again for everything…
she gave nothing in return

A jilted strand of loneliness
—unwoven and unheard

Minds, dusts merge on a running slate
Scorching sun aloft jilted men
Warming up like a sizzling plate
Winds whirling, bodies teeming ten
Trudging on a forsaken den....

Sand slipping through her fingers
Of wasted times and jilted lovers
Sat with her spaniel on the porch
Poured herself a nice little scotch
Faithful to each other they were
As a doe and a deer...

So much for the lady from Toledo
She had oodles of available dough
She slipped quietly away
One beautiful spring-like day
And, I hear she has another poor beau.

Tingling with excitement
  the big day had arrived
Goosebumps on her arms
  anticipating his charms

But he’d changed his mind
  another he’d find
Flowed her jilted tears 
  ~ she'd never shift gears...

I knew a girl named ______
I saw her every day
I told her that I loved her
and now she runs away

I guess I didn’t love her
we won’t be getting hitched
for how could I have been in love 
with such a silly _______?...

A better critic
  than writer…

Your tongue sharpens,
  as your pen hacks

Bastardized on the altar
  of cold description

Disavowed by the jilted Muse,
 —ink bleeding red

Ethics 
takes a nap, 
in a blink, 
without qualms.

      *

A jilted lover, like 
a broken moon, takes 
a jump from the hill.

       *

In this twilight 
who am I, 
in this crowd of sinners ?

Got dumped, his first
His love, cursed...ouch!
Her thirst, unquenched

Warming tears,
            wept from jilted skies,
      whorl the ocean’s patient soul. 
Fragile signs - unread, are everywhere;
   shoulders tapped by glacial ghosts,
            shrug in nonchalance.
                   … Que sera...

I give you your first flower
Before all your lovers 
send them by the hour.
Receive my flower.

Soft and brittle
But how mighty its power!
Let it move in you
when times and sweet, and when sour.

I picked it from my lover.
So here's your first flower....

This Generation



We’re a generation of single mothers;

Generation X, a generation of sinners.

The jilted generation, rejected by society;

Look down upon, thought less of, 

Underestimated, just as we wish to be.

once impulsive        now

deserted   forsaken
                  cast aside
jilted
stranded
              rejected
dumped
ditched
                 unused

neglected
             idle
                unoccupied
uninhabited

I stand empty

      words fail me...

A Romantic is always afraid deep inside
expectations will never come true

Chasing a mirage that stays beyond reach
waiting and hoping in lieu…

A Romantic betroths those lies of the heart
in amorous moments to roam

Wooing a dream that’s jilted by sleep
to wander, to wonder—alone

(Dreamsleep: September, 2022)...

If love was just a picture, 
Then the frame would be the heart. 

Those who waited in faith and patience, 
Remained recluse in love. 

Love is the little hope that one's wants,
But deserts in times of needs... 

Abandoned by true love is the misery of reality,
As only those who went through knows the opium of true love....

Folding in to convention
Sealed in creases of acceptance
Maligned and misled
By the false promises
Of a stolen heart 
We chase the white whale
Of validation
Into waters of denial…
  “Fury—the rallying cry
   of our vengeful spirit
   Hate—the jilted lover
   of our fated selves”

BLUE

Blue
Black and
Of course!    true
Jilted lady
Sky on a clear day
Subject in review is
When my girl left me I was
How I remember Crater Lake
Little girls wear pink but boys wear
.........................................................

I was so fond of the various entries in the "Blue" contest, just had to write one...

Hannah Adderley jumped with a wail
from the clifftop at Middleton Dale
but her petticoats cute
made a great parachute
for a soft landing, wow! What a tale!


(Hannah, of Stoney Middleton, Derbyshire, had been jilted at the altar
and although her suicide attempt was a failure she died of natural causes
 two years later in 1764)...

I write to vent.... my reason, the pain of an unrequited heart.  I must be cautious that my lamenting doesn't askew the literary balance.  The jilted black sister theme is tired but I could write it in a thousand sonnets.


I loved you so much
once I WISHED I was your cat
now what is your name?

The Master Sailor

Along the tourists jilted beach walked
saw a rope, thick as Popeye’s arms
sticking up from the sand.
I pulled and up came a schooner
with its crew on board.

We set sail away from winter shores
it disappeared in a funky haze.
A dream had come true, a master
of my own vessel.
It didn`t last someone 
pulled the plug....
