#vss365 #perhaps #rhyme Perhaps she was better than me. Perhaps she made him happy. Perhaps she met his needs. Perhaps she healed his bleeds. Perhaps she was more fun. Perhaps she was ‘the one’. But why’d he stay with me, If she made him happy?

She did find out, It wasn’t fine, #Catastrophe ensued In time!
#vss365 It will be fine, she won’t find out. It’s just some fun, won’t rock the boat. It sure would be #catastrophe if she knew— but you will see, she won’t find out. Why would she know? The narcissist in me said no: “She won’t find out, it will be fine. Go have your fun— just one more time.”
Thank you

#emoetry #poetry I am a lost child #hankering after the safety of home. Like a curly puppy ripped from her siblings, her birthplace, her world. Like a scared tortoise retreating into her shell— I fold inward, small against the silence, alone.

#vss365 #poetry #poem My sadness is profound, an ache too deep to name. Sophisticated hounds conspire to feast on shame. They tear the soul from flesh, revel in the fall— the stench of lust and death masked well with tea and gall.

#emoetry #poetry I #abhorred my fellow women not, Worked arm in arm with trust and care; The sisterhood was all around— Until I found the false ones there. Their true endeavour hidden lay Behind bright smiles of treachery; They break, they steal, they bring decay, Compelled by envy’s tyranny.
#vss365 #prompt #poetry I was a person once, Brain filled with useful things, A heart that brimmed with love, A soul that bore life’s stings. Now all I think is sparks, And all I feel is pain, This old soul: trampled, beaten, dead. #Exhausted with the shame.
#emoetry #poetry #micropoetry You called me ‘youngster’, Affectionately— yet craved another, more #youthful than me.

#vss365 #poetry Church employee, She— Angelic smile? Devil’s glee. “Hey, everybody, look at me! Directing your music, there I’ll be. Professional boundaries? Hehehe! Abuse of #power? Now you see? Ah yes, that’s my decree: So, wives, clutch weak husbands and flee, Lest I claim your man for me!”
#Emoetry I guess she felt #validated When you joined her in hatred For the boss she’d insist Was “taking the piss.” I guess you felt validated When she exaggerated The strife you must face In ‘anxiety’s‘ embrace. Socially risky, Yet it made you both frisky— Validation the key To false intimacy.
indeed.
#emoetry #poetry #poem #prompt I had an #uneasy feeling, an intuition that I didn’t like. It felt like that woman was stealing my husband away—in plain sight. I buried my uneasy feeling— she surely wasn’t the type. So imagine my shock, all my reeling, when I found my suspicion was right!
#vss365 #doorway #poetry If I step through this doorway— with you, will you be by my side always? And if more doorways appear, shining with promise, shadowed with risk— will you cross their thresholds without me?

#emoetry #prompt #poem #poetry I thought the wilderness Was far behind. The beast #tamed, The outlook kind. But the wily coyote Was circling around, Clawing for pity, Whining for ground. So hard done by, So forlorn— You had to ‘save’ The Devil’s spawn.

A most high #abode Lofty and airy and tall and empty Scented with incense and ash With golden sheen of dark light Overspilling with words whose meanings #elude And stricken with “poor me” delight #vss365 #BlueSkyRelay #prompt #poem #poetry
Lead us back Along the narrow path That leads to place of wonder— Our true #abode of light, Where truth itself doth sing In angelic tone, And demon cannot Spew her pith and spit From that ‘holy’ place. #BlueSkyRelay #poem #poetry

I wish we could return to the past, to that soft place where laughter lived, where silence was never heavy but shared, and trust felt as natural as breathing. Now every word between us is edged with absence, and I keep reaching for the friend you once were. #vss365 #poetry #past
“and trust felt as natural as breathing.” ….As my eyes fill with tears. 😔 Beautifully sad.
#vss365 #prompt #past #poem #poetry What’s past is past, Or so they say; But this past haunts me— Now, today. With images, cruel, Brought to my bed, Ghosts of the past Are invading my head. They sing on the radio, Hide in my church, Laugh in the movies, And drive me berserk!

#emoetry #mad #poetry #bravewrite “Yeah, Mummy, you’re mad,” a young child echoed his dad. My only madness— anxiety. The kind that grows from betrayal.
A friend has just been through treatment and is now in the clear. Sending compassion, hope and strength as you start your journey. 🫂🫂🫂

Her husband left; Audacious plan: She’ll steal herself Another’s man. One who Commits and Does provide, She’ll take him for a lusty ride. He’ll leave his wife for her— But wait: With HIS vows broke, He’s second-rate! #vss365 #Audacious #poem #poetry #micropoetry

Thank you. Hats off to you - limericks are tricky, I think.
There once was a bass who was single, Yet the choir mistress wanted to mingle, With a tenor who’s wed, They should’ve paused instead. Count the cost, don’t be lured by the tingle! #vss365 #Poetry #Poem #Bass #Limerick #Limericks 😕

Malus mingled mirth, a merry manipulation. Misfortune her mantle, malice her modality. No Mother Mary Mild, but malevolence her malady, a #malformed morality, mastery of mummery. A marriage marred— mendacity. #vss365 #Poetry #Poem

“Maybe I have a type, maybe I don't. But I want to know YOURS. Honestly, I’m curious now.” She headed toward the party without checking to see if he was following: she knew he was. “Let me guess: buxom, blonde, vapid? Girls who giggle at your jokes and reek of desperation?” #vss365 #prompt #reek
His kiss on my head felt like protection. I pressed his hand to my face for affection. Yet clinging there— was the #reek of deception. Was his kiss just a sinful deflection? #vss365
Was life so #mundane… that you needed to rename our eternal flame— All over again? #vss365 #poem #poetry
Keep #vigil for me, that I may see sunshine. In my darkness, hold the light I have hid. When my tears fall like rain, be my comfort. So I may find my true self once again. #vss365 #poem #poetry
