Solitary existence is no existence at all,
plaguing the anomalies of a woman's mind.
I was made to love but one, and love fiercely
clinging steadfastly to a desire I was unaware of.
Modern Bride is open in my lap, the pages dog-eared
on colors of seafoam, azure, champagne;
simplicity lost even in a color scheme,
complexity a burden that leaves no one untouched.
How is it then, when I ask about your spectrum
I see only grey?

Broken Bird

She watches life from her cage.

Excellent writing!  I'll be looking between the lines on this - there is wonderful depth and many questions...

well, I don't have that desire...been there, done it once, and may never do it again. Of course, I was taught never to say never. Good write, got me thinking.

I agree with Sunshine...there seems to be some hidden things between the lines here.
This is a very well-written poem that makes
the reader think. That's a good thing.

I sensed frustration and sadness in your words. Wonderfully descriptive writing!

Warm hugs,
