Rushes of

Introspection

Edge of prayer

Prostrating

Forlorn

Hopeless

Tears

 

I-only-ever-made-one-wish-I-wished-for-you.

 

Trample on my broken heart

Crush the velvet of my soul,

Rip the silken ribbons

Frayed threads of gold.

Interlacing sequins,

Faded mirrors

To the world,

Missing true

Blue diamonds

Left out in the cold.

Forget every promise,

Cold palms break the ice.

Every Arabic word,

Maggots and woodlice.

Rotten heart of apples

Used to be fresh

To the core.

I am the result:

You are the cause.

Very sad, but beautiful imagery

How well do I know these words, ‘I-only-ever-made-one-wish-I-wished-for-you’
I have spoken them in silence, whispered them to the wind in the hope that she might deliver my longing to the ears of my deeper dream.
