IN THE LIGHT OF MY FRAGILENESS

 

Perhaps…

You didn’t mean to mislead me

When you softly, quietly pressed your sweet, moistened lips to mine 

Perhaps…

When you left your lightly scented kisses

 of licorice and lavender ~

Dancing on my heart in wispy, breathless winds

Just perhaps…

They were meant to tease and linger like chocolate in my strawberry dreams 

And perhaps…

You didn’t mean to leave me in glistening, fragile tears

Now scattered like the sweet petals of nature’s flowers

Blowing like diamonds in the elusive breeze ~

With my softened flesh and fragmented bones

Falling like lifeless feathers amidst the Universe and stars

Now…

I am but a twinkle in my own deep, slumbering eye

Traveling on gossamer arms of lords and angels

On evanescent empyrean wings…

In the skies of Heaven’s loving, welcoming embrace

Perhaps now...

You know how you broke my fragile heart
