A Love Story in 108 Words. {Poetry}
i didn’t ask
to fall in love
but I did
i wasn’t looking
and there
you were
we laughed with ease
i listened,
engaged
entranced
i held your words
in my cells
my heart breathed
time passed
control is stealthy
tumultuous demands
shadowy storms revealed
the pictures hung
tilted
spilling
pain
we changed
we gave
but rarely enough
to satiate an emptiness
silent, manipulating and cold
I snipped the chords
stale air escaped
and strings floated
tinted colors have returned
solitude sips tranquility
i didn’t expect
to find love, again
but there it was
in my reflection
breathing love
into life
again
