His honeyed voice soothes

My aching psyche

His bright smile provides

Luminosity

His twinkling eyes beg

Curiosity

I run to him on slippered feet and place my palm on his chest.

The steady rhythm of his heart puts my wearied mind at rest.

I cannot grasp

the ease at which

barbed fallacies fall

from your crimson lips

only to plunge deftly

into my still beating heart

adieu to you and you and you…

She had come to a decision

It was time for a fresh start

With only promise in her heart

she bid farewell to them all

in celebration of herself

his boyish grin and twinkling eyes

penetrated my hard earned armor

and made it impossible to resist him
