Did you hear it The sound was deafening An intense roar in my ears The reverberation rattled my bones And thundered through my soul Your ego muffled the sound But I heard it loud and clear The sound of my heartbreak Copyright (C) 2023 Penny Wilson

Elusive
Lapse In Judgement
Let Me Slumber
Under the stars
the grass is cool
against my fevered skin
You are in silhouette
but I know your breath
as it warms me
The breezes carry
your scent to me
The fireflies dance
as if in celebration
I’m intoxicated
by the night
If in a dream
let me slumber
I do not wish
the daylight
to intrude

You’ll Be There
As my time here grows shorter, the fear fades.
It’s a comfort, really, knowing you’ll be there when I leave this place.
We can catch up like we always do.
It will be like continuing a conversation from yesterday.
You’ll show me the ropes and all the best places to hang out.
You’ve always been part of me. It’s good to know that you always will be.

Empty
It’s Always You
I wonder why when I dream, it's always of you
You were the one. The one I said forever to
Years have passed without your smile
I'm resigned to navigate the days and nights in solitude
My heart aches anew each time it realizes that you're gone
I tend to romanticize the past leaving out those rough times, on purpose
The good times were good enough to live on in my memory
Decades later when I dream it's always of you
It's good to know that you really are the forever one
The one I'll always dream of

The Magician
Twisted Spell
She studied lore and craft Her heart’s desire to obtain. She used bat’s wings and chants And even a little wolfbane. She locked him in a cage And cast spells on him each night. She summoned demons and beasts And trolls by moonlight. She took flight with Count Dracula To learn of his secrets. Nothing she tried seemed to work Was this man her weakness? Finally, defeated She turned him loose one day. She said “although I love you You must be on your way”. “Your love is what I’ve desired But it can’t be earned like this. Before you leave my home Would you grant me just one kiss?” He looked at her with kindness And took her hand with care. He pulled her close and kissed her And then he gave her such a glare. “Although I’ve kissed your lips most foul You’ll not live to see another nightfall I am a warlock casting my own spell I'll turn you into a rat; quite small.” Before his eyes, she shrank And began to grow a snout. She scampered away quickly To look for a way out. Before you cast a spell on the man of the moment. Use caution, for he may seek revenge by turning you into a rodent.

The Heart Does Not Forget
tickles from the stubble of your beard the smile at the corners of your mouth were your eyes the color of the sea? or were they rainy day grey? I forget the scent of your skin in the dark forgotten when your hand touched mine did my blood race? many things forgotten but, love the heart does not forget Copyright © 2019 Penny Wilson *Although an older post, I like it. I hope you do too.
