It was not an easy thing to admit,
this need.
I had done with girlhood fairytales.
Stupid to believe in those.
I learned my lesson.
It was just a kiss among the cherry blossoms,
a song at the right moment,
just touches of beauty sublime.
I ignored each golden thread spun from those moments,
binding me.
At the time, it seemed like I was caught in an instant,
but you set your trap well.
Before the words even left my lips,
there was no hope for me.All that was left was to believe again.
I hope you’re pleased with yourself.
I know I am.

Sweet, sweet luuuuuuuv.
ReplyDeleteLOL, yeah, this was my mushball side. It comes out every now and again. :D
DeleteSublimely beautiful! "All that was left was to believe again" I love that line!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon!
DeleteLovely words. I like your mushball side. :-)
ReplyDeleteI let it out every now and again when I run out of jokes.
DeleteI can hear a sigh in this poem... a sound of deep acceptance; no anger, perhaps a shrug, but more than anything... acceptance. Now I wonder how the speaker moves forward...
ReplyDeleteNo, certainly no anger; perhaps some lingering exasperation that acceptance took so long. I would hope the speaker would move forward realizing so much time has been lost that it'd be a pity to squander any more.
DeleteOh so lovely...nothing wrong with a bit of girlish romance...as long as it doesn't rule your life :D XXX
ReplyDeleteWell *anything* that takes over your life where you can't function well in any other areas is a bad thing. I think in the case of this poem, it was holding on to past baggage that was the negative element.
DeleteFantastic writing!
