Let love lead you back to joy...

Us
VIEW ARTWORK 🌈

Your eyes had an ostensible purpose which lied to love.
Your smile was a mojo-cocktail, perfumed with hidden scents.

Scraping the barrel of memories, I search blurred visions of "us",
I find the ego clashes with the bitterness on my tongue.

I imagine an alternate life of "us", still together, still deeply in love.
And I choose to focus on the candy glaze your eyes had on first sight.
Oh how my heartbeats vibrated with each delivered message—

I WANT IT ALL BACK! I want it all back—

It cannot be good for me to continue such delusions of "us";
Instead I'll lay "us" to rest with the final kiss we never had.

If tears still fall, I'll taste the joy we had, and the joy another may bring.
Thank you for the goodness, which has grown my love of art,
and the beat of "us" will continue within our daughter's heart.

"This is where creativity meets fantasy. We creators like to use real world feelings and blend them into fantasy. We like to keep you guessing whether what we are saying is based entirely on truth or if it is fantasy. I will leave you guessing with this. Just know it is a poem song that the #creating365 prompt and others teased out yet again. Importantly it is a poem to help you come to term with any bitterness that might reside in you from a past relationship, it is designed to get you to change it to sweetness. To let it build you up and not knock you down, live life optimistically, use pain to gain... you get it! Now go prove you really do understand by living that truth..."
