King of Hearts

King of Hearts

A Poem by Beren

I try to put myself to sleep with bay leaf incense in the hell of silence
the closest thing to heaven for me is that scent

I write poems from my old pains so this can't break my current heart
I'm angry with myself because I wasn't someone who would be upset about these things.
But I can't help.

My right side, which represents the male side of the body, is starting to hurt
and damn it, no. I don't want to see another sign
of you there, not here with me.

I'm picking up my cards and begging them to prove me wrong
I try to listen to my inner voice while shuffling the cards, 
but I can't hear it because of the silence.

and a card falls
as i turn it over my right hand gets lighter
King of Hearts
I'm glad I was wrong
and I beg to the full moon to gift me forgiveness again

I do like a desk of cards. (Red Sovine - Vietnam Deck Of Cards). I use to play a lot in my Army days.

Good to ask the moon and a quiet night. We can find forgiveness. Thank you dear Beren for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.
