Almost
Missing the closeness A breath on bare neck Fingertips stroking gently and whispered words spoken with romance Dancing in a head giddy with anticipation Blinded by the strategy Ignoring the signs It seems so long ago that we nearly had it all Expectations never met Promises broken Love poetry a means to an end Seduction was your game My surrender the prize Heartbreak the memory Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © Word Prompts Giddy - Word of the Day Dancing - RDP Nearly - FOWC
Wow Christine!!! This is a real gem! Especially loved your last stanza –
“Promises broken
Love poetry
a means to an end
Seduction was your game
My surrender the prize
Heartbreak the memory”
So full of emotions/feelings – bittersweet but so beautifully penned, My Dear!!
xoxo

Dear Chuck you are always so kind. Your comments mean so much to me. Thank you! 🥰💕❤️🌞
Well, Christine – I’m being honest and kind, not saying anything that isn’t true or very well deserved – You ARE a Great Writer, My Dear!! You need to start accepting that in your heart and head. Maybe put it on a post it note for the bathroom mirror – “Christine Bolton IS a Great Writer!!!!!” I find post-it notes help! They do for me.
I’m happy that my comments are meaningful to you because they are meant to let you know the truth about your words and that they reach out and touch my heart!!! They brighten my day and so you deserve to know that from my comments! And I’m very happy if they bring a smile to your face too!
