Vacant Wants

She offered all she had to him
love, her time, her heart and soul.
Not enough, or so it seems
and left she did, to take a stroll

and walk the plains of emptiness,
to find herself without the need,
no elements to null her mind
or vacant wants, no arms to plead.

A twisted life of blue on blue
held in webs of malcontent,
barren words, that once could thrill
now breach the silence often spent

in corners of, inside the walls
of vanity, self-love the goal.
Stilled by bars, of songs once heard
their meanings deeply reaching soul.

The past has passed, the new is now,
soothing thoughts do come with ease.
For she has willed from weak to strong,
has only self in need to please.

When next a he shall grasp for touch
no longer can the field be held.
His "normal" versus what is "real"
to her will lack the drive, compelled.

Maureen darling heart in this you have excelled your usual high standard normally your writing shines, in this one poem you have written pure truth. There are those who do this to another soul and it hurts terribly.

Utterly utterly perfect writing and I love it well written and beautifully expressed

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire

This leaves me with such a deep sadness, Maureen...because you have expressed it so well that I can actually experience the feelings you convey...
