The girl from humble beginnings
Held back by fears and haunting words:
‘You’re no good’, ‘you’ll ruin everything you touch’.
Love became an elusive ghost
She had long given up the cause.
Until the boy came along.
In all innocence she never expected
Those feelings she felt rumbling
Might ever be realised.
In two minds she wondered of desire
With such bedevilling in her mind.
She could so easily ruin him
Lose him in dark places she abhorred.
As lovers they connected
He loved her as the woman he saw
She loved him for the man he was.
Despite their flaws
Their love increased
From shy, to smile, to smitten.
In gentle ways their hands did clasp,
Their bodies when entwined
Took each other far away
In poignant treasured moments.
In morning light they lay together
He loved her precious self
She saw him as not like other men
It was, as it should have been,
Her voices laid to rest.

such a lovely poem, so romantic 🙂
Thank you ladylee
Beautiful and elegant writing Michael, very moving
Thank you Yves a very challenging prompt.
I absolutely, unequivocally, love this poem, Michael. It touched my heart. From beginning to end, every single word told a beautiful story.
Your accompanying art work is a perfect compliment to it.
Thank you Cathy, that’s a beautiful comment and compliment. Thank you for stopping by.
It was my pleasure, Michael. 🙂
The boy healed the girl. Beautiful poem!
Thank you Joy, lovely you could stop by.
Lovely piece that has a fairy tale quality – but not in a sappy or syrupy style. Perhaps more of a secret dream held as a treasure deep within one’s heart.
Beautiful Michael 🙂
Thank you Pat well you are little correct when you consider so much of my life is fantasy…
LOL …. you know, it’s early here and as I’m reading this, MY BAD of course, I was sipping coffee and almost choked spit it at my screen, unexpectedly laughing @ your comment – I could hear this Auzzie accent so calmly and nonchalantly stating it …. oh how you are too wonderful 😉
and well …. at least then, we can dream and be content in “creating” whatever best suits us at the time, as long as we remember to keep at least 4 toes grounded in reality XD
Life-affirming, hopes and dreams have potential to be fulfilled, and demons and voices dispelled. Truly a love story, and a lovely story. Beautiful expressive interpretation of the tarot card.
Thank you my friend. Doing the best I can..
You seem to be doing well — your wonderful sense of love, hope, passion are very much alive in this and several other posts of your today/my tonight. Hope you find all that you are looking for, and that your love is well returned. 🙂
That’s what the hope is all about….have a good evening I believe you are another hour away from me…11pm must be bed time for you…
