Heart of Mine

 

 

 

I found a photograph of you,

your eyes

a cerulean blue,

tucked inside the pocket of

his favorite jeans…

you signed your name

with x’s and o’s,

with little hearts

dotting each i…

tumultuously breaking

this heart of mine.

This is thick with emotion.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I wanted it to be...thank you for acknowledging it, Matt!

[mattavelli]

Sure. I'm a bad reviewer, but I do it anyway. Haha

[Kelly Scheppers]

Why do you say that? You're brief and very much to the point...I like that!

[mattavelli]

Thank you, that was my intention. :)
But I should have added that this is something that I can relate to. I have photos of former lovers. One of them has writing on the back. It's from her high school yearbook photo set. I remember her sitting on a swing, writing it. It says I'm a lot of fun and thanks for all the rides to school... We became lovers not long after she gave me the photo. That photo reminds me of my "youthful exuberance".

[Kelly Scheppers]

You really related to this...thank you for sharing that with me! I love it when comments are returned and touch me that way. It makes writing all the worthwhile for me!

the image of the romantically written note juxtaposes poignantly with the heartbreak.

Well penned!!

[Kelly Scheppers]

...you words warm my soul, Rubie, thank you!

"Night gone - Everything gone."

That's all I got to write in this review.

It's shame that people forgetting to treasure... what they must treasure - The Love. I tell you the reason behind that: The heart's became an object, ye - an object that can easily.. so smoothly and calmly... firmly bent... and bent... more bent.. a little more twist.. twirl and collabbb... and then... X's... & O's... in last.. can Break easily! And.. it's not anyone's fault but except its own. Heart's never controlled so.. always gets what it deserves to. The flexibility of heart gets broken when it looses what it cares for.. the most. Simple, If the heart looses its own vibes to treasure its beats, how even can people stay behind not to let it break/crush/slush and damn flush under the bridge of ... raged/wicked/tricked and slinky-love for good in a hood? So, yes.. that's all. It's uncontrollable that further leads itself to dark shades of life.. in guise of caramel loves. What gets left behind's nothing but the ... moist cupcakes of sweeten memories... in life filling its empty spaces with tears. That's all what you got.. bled with. You bled in memories/emotions in the pursuit of words/tears. Perfect!

Ah, wish I was there to kiss your tears; ain't even let you fall back in the bed with broken heart. Hell, I guess, if I was there, I won't even left you not even till or in the morn. Common, you taste good, Kell! Get a flight to reside in my heart! (Just playing with you... don't mind my words).

[Kelly Scheppers]

...your words are kind, and taken to heart the same way, Adams. Thank you!

[Shivai]

Really well written! I loved it!!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you so much for your review!

[Alfred Kukitz]

A very sad pocket check. Hopefully one day you will find little buggers dancing down the aisle of your hand.

Love,
Al

[Kelly Scheppers]

...little buggers? Lol, thank you, Alfred! x

[Pash]

short but very touching, I so much love it

[Kelly Scheppers]

..thank you, Pash!

[Lydia Shutter]

The heartbreak is so real in this one. Little hearts dotting the "i's".......how well I remember girls doing that in high school and college. To find such a photo in your lover's jeans is to feel the stab of betrayal. Wonderful, Kelly. Your words are always easy to identify with. We have all felt the emotions you write. Lydi**

[Kelly Scheppers]

...your reviews give me much to be thankful for, and I thank you!

[Lydia Shutter]

The pleasure is mine, dear Kelly.

[Coyote Poetry]

I enjoyed this poem. I have old letters from 30 years ago. Those x's and o's become more precious. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry dear Kelly.

...thank you, John!

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome Kelly.

[Einstein Noodle]

the kind of discovery that drains the blood from ones face .. so many times the betrayal is not seen coming .. and when it does its a bulldozer scraping the the heart to raw ... :((( would not wish this on anyone!! even my enemies .. i would rather beat them up in a fist fight ;)

Lovely Kelly, my first impulse is to give you a big hug! That being said your words touch me to the core. Her eyes may be a "cerulean blue" but she could never ever hold a candle to you. This too shall pass my friend.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Your heart is as deep as any ocean, Dara. Although this happened years ago, I truly appreciate the compassion of your words! ...thank you!

[Dara]

Oh that's is good :-)
