The Jester

The Jester

 

 

You took all there was of me

without ever once

committing yourself to love.

Like an unmade bed

you stripped me of my senses,

leaving me without word

or warning.

How typical of you

to walk away,

to feel no remorse

or regret.

Someday, the king of hearts will fall

then I shall seek to be

the jester.

A poem that could go either way. A man would do it.. a woman would do it too.. and the broken heart is the casualty..
sigh.. lots of sadness here my dear..

Nothing worse than a heartless man
everything can be taught
but sensitivity is impossible to come to life in the heart of man victim to his desires
like a lion
eats and snatches
walks away
a bit creepy

He may have been a lion, but now he is a mouse! Thank you Nisreen, thank you so much!

sigh...such a terrible thing to experience but you capture it so well...and I enjoy the hope at the end that one day the player will perhaps fall victim to his own games and the speaker will be there to smile...stunning poetry and accompanying photo, as always :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

The poem was from a relationship many years ago...but the heart never forgets. Your articulation always stirs me, Thomas...thank you!

We move on from those relationships but carry residual feelings for the rest of our days...youa re welcome, Kelly! :)

and you will be laughing in his ear---the meek shall inherit the earth---and you will feel rich of heart...

some people can hurt others so easily and never blink an eye...

love the analogy here...and especially the image of the unmade bed.

[Kelly Scheppers]
