aka, The Abject Muse

Heart and Soul

It’s Quadrille Monday over at the dVerse Poets Pub. The writing prompt is spoil.

 

You should be mine,

heart and soul, like

it was meant to be.

But no. You just had to

fall in love with

that one. Couldn’t you

have waited? Wasn’t I

worth it? My impatient

love, you’ve spoiled everything —

you and your damn wife.

    Well that’s an interesting conversation-poem! And the final line is the twist on the femme fatale…except it’s the wife who ends it all! Unique and really-enoyed-it response to the prompt!

        LOL, this is true. I am grateful for my loving husband and his loyalty.

    Sigh the sting of love and attraction towards someone whom we can never hope to have … the longing and ache is palpable in your poem 🍁❤

      Thanks so much, sanaarizvi. We can’t always get what we want, sadly.

      But if they were second best, they wouldn’t be best, would they? :-)

    Spoil prompt has brought out the flip sides a lot , of jealousy, of honesty, of… apples? It has been fun, unexpected twists.
