alchemy
everywhere time inscribes his indelible marks
there remains one untainted corner
beneath a thousand wounds
of boiling sensitivities
our hearts are a lab
creating poetic alchemy
a lonely place where the unloved
transform melancholy into poetry
Pretty Girl Unloved
She was the last leaf on a dying tree
Hanging from a barren branch
Too frightened to be free
Unloving winds made her rock and sway
Disconnected from her twig
She was forever castaway
Unwanted and unnoticed she fell in dirt
She remained all alone there
With no one to cure her hurt
Dying in shadows with no sun above
She lay in the cold forever
Pretty girl unloved
Due to my crazy week this was another reblog. Will be catching up with blogs and comments today. Expect to get back to my regular schedule next week.
Have a great weekend. Be happy. Be well.
She stands by the window
gazing at the stars
that were never meant for her
she has been unloved so long
she doesn’t remember
any other way to live
She has found a taken man
a man who would repair
every barren heartbeat
a man who would seal
eternal voids with love
until she was whole again
She quietly admires him
knowing this loving man
is exactly who she needs
the stars were never meant for her
so she dreams of love
in another place and time

Sometimes, neglect can be as painful as abuse.
To all the women who have ever felt alone, unwanted, unappreciated, or unloved.
This one is for you.
Blooming in the Dark
Unappreciated sacrifices
replaced dreams that slowly died
her aging petals wilting
from the silent tears she cried
Forgotten and all alone
hummingbird with no sound
heart beating without love
petals sinking to the ground
Depressed in her little corner
neglected and unmarked
an unappreciated flower
forever blooming in the dark
