You made my beloved
trees, faint
in their stiff winter postures,
the bareback walls
of your dim little room
spackle, my crimson heart
splattered,
you turned alabaster into
waterfalls of warm love
hurricanes rising inside me
the december air, cold of night
revamped
with red stilleto desire

all that and more

much more,
all you tapped
upon with the touch
of your golden rod

but it just wasn't me
to be the one
that you loved.

Such vivid imagery and strong emotions, dear Michele!

The conclusion has a bitter taste, but does one really know?

Love,
Margherita

but it just wasn't me
that you loved.

And that's the hardest thing to accept... when there are no reasons WHY... there's just the finality. Excellent write!

Dear inkedgoddess, to feel in love and feel the passion within just becomes second prize when the who your affection is for hardly knows your name. Love is a gift, often window shoping can get us down too you know. Have a great day my friend and take care.
Enjoyed your write, it brought many thoughts.

I always see double entendres in your writing and am envious of that skill...

"red stiletto desire"

You are intense, sweet lady. And some just can't handle that.

*shaking my head*

"red stiletto desire"

Now that's hot.

An exquisite poem (as usual!)!  My first reaction, was how on earth could any man you have a relationship with not love you?  But I should have known, and didn't think enough, and then when I read Karen's response, I thought how could I have not realised it because - been there, done that - have a wardrobeful of the tee-shirts!
It's tough, and it's a pity.  I hope you meet (or have met since) somebody who is as intense and good and kind as you and is deserving of you.
