Small Bruises

It begins with desire,
a filigreed fairy-tale weave,
designed in honeyed links.

Then the mind rejoices -
hormonal gushing,
a chocolate fix
in the afternoon.

Along comes expectation,
to put to ruin
simple joys,
ironically,
a trap
of hope.

In time, there are bruises,
scars only lovers can see,
the damage,
cumulative.

Sadly, we all give and get those small bruises to our relationships. Very well expressed, Corinne.

Thank you, JM, nice to see you again, too!

Doreen, kind of a depressing poem, I'm none too happy with it.

Denise, thank you. Was trying to describe just those bruises, they way they have of marring a relationship.

Thank you, Sunshine.

Park, thank you, ahh, no, thou art the sweet one!
