Take my hand with promise
There's a widow that sits beside the seaside The sun shines on her face There’s a morning light that cries and sits beside her place And there is an eye That melts at the touch It’s hidden not much For a fake Did you know the greatest treasure lost Was found at the bottom of a lake The widow sits beside its hand she shall...

Weeping Widow don't You Cry
If the world could weep if rain could wash away tears would the flood be forty days or forty years what time it shall take happily my life I would forsake if only children laughed children played children loved teaching elders not to hate never having to live in fear I would drown peacefully a happy woman ...

Premium Member Am I Crazy?
Am I crazy if it’s been five years and I still expect you to walk through the door? If I can’t give away your clothes because you might need them? Am I over the line if I fantasize that your treatment worked and you never died at all? And I laugh with you over breakfast while we sip coffee as we always did? I’m afraid to...

Take good care of your precious pain. Wrap your strong arms around it. Hold it against your warm chest. Rock it gently, telling it softly that it is loved. It is needed. It is important. It makes perfect sense. And love it, just as it is, in all of its agonizing beauty....

The Widow
The Widow At sixteen she is a widow She is still a kiddo With a baby in her arm Life will be no charm She’s now like her brother Who has a child without a mother His wife chose the street Killed as she was standing beat But now she must look after herself Not wanting to sit on the shelve. Now she has a great...

The Black Widow
she moves in whispers, a shadow draped in midnight silk, trailing poison kisses in the dark-- a promise, a warning, a lullaby of death. her fingers weave unseen threads, spun from sugared lies and honeyed venom, each thread a pulse, a heartbeat, a trembling thing waiting to break. men call her beautiful, never knowing beauty has teeth, has patience, has hunger that does not beg but...

Premium Member Black Widow
I came upon a widow, black, carrying a poison sac. I asked her what was in her purse. She suggested I call a hearse, giving me a terrible fright, asking if she could have a bite. Your attentions, ma'am, I rebuff. Of this chat, I've had enough. I'm afraid, kind sir, it's too late. I've already fixed your fate....

A Dying Widow
i can taste her on your lips. the stain from her lipstick is infused to the fibers on your white work shirt. I'm guessing the color is cherry red. the scent of her perfume weakens my stomach, knots my heart, takes every hope i had of our future and turns it into mud, blood boiling like shower water you washed with to scrub her touch off...

The Silent Widow
Here sits the widow silent and pale, from the heart of darkness her sorrows hail. Mournful eyes, shattered thoughts, bloodless veins and soundless calls. With her broken heart her mind would plea, her eyes are open but unable to see. A saddened look, and a tired heart, an endless journey that tore her apart. Entrapped within,...

Premium Member Widow
In the quiet aftermath, fairytale's close, A widow now, where love once arose. Memories dance of love's early spark, Newlyweds' dreams, adventures in the dark. Shopping escapades, where no one claimed the win, Shared laughter, moments tucked within. Doing life together, through joy and strife, Raising kids, navigating the journey of life. Now a widow, pain veiled in silent grace, Alone she carries a...
