Caprice

WOTD #52

       Unforgetable;

her wit, quixotic, yet kind;

     she was my friend.

 

     Beneath a tousel

of ebony curls, sad eyes

     of darkened hue.

 

     Hidden sorrow heart

overwhelmed her one day;

  her choice--end the pain.

Sad... that tousel of ebony curls was such a delight... I felt the loss

[Shante Payne]

This is epic to me because you paint the picture of so many women, young girls and even men can releate. Beauty, brains, and friends they don't even know they have, yet and still they are pained beneath their smiles....great write, story of so many peoples lives.

Having been so close to ending the pain, this one hit me hard. In your carefully chosen words, you bring a world of darkness to light and let us see and feel the darker hues that can strangle a soul...

A very sad write. Well done.

deeply moving~

[Bubo]

Such a deeply sad write........that one can never escape pain except through death.....and you capture her well with few words, but enough to allow us to see her.

I like seeing you stretching beyond 1 stanza. Keep it up. This one is heart wrenching.
