Not Meant

Fay Slimm.

 

Not Meant.

 

A moon shimmers approval

to June's evening mist 

hiding the girl's  insistent

and unusual sadness

with little more than a curl

of blonde eyelash

to prepare the fond maiden

the affair was not meant 

to last then blatantly

she shrugs pert equipment

yet momentarily shivers.

    A brief encounter, over the counter perhaps? A shiver or a wriggle, maybe a tiny giggle.
    Nothing lasts for ever - diamonds are forever. No diamonds, no looking back.
    Que sera sera.

    • Fay Slimm.

      Yes I agree - a brief encounter when fresh and young can be almost forgotten in the excitement of the next one - -- the shrug in the image reminded me of that very thing. Thanking you Dusk for your visit and read of Not Meant.

      Nice one Fay. Sometimes somethings just don't matter

      • Fay Slimm.

        Exactly S.C. - somethings indeed just dont matter and nothing like a teenager for proving that point.......... so kind of you to drop by and give your review of Not Meant.

          Good write, Fay.
          The first two lines are just beautiful. Keep them handy for a Renga.

          • Fay Slimm.

            Thanking you Jerry for your highlighting the two first lines in my piece - - although some are adept at such as rengas and haikus I am hopeless at composting as little as a three liner - must be cos I never know when to stop my penning once it starts.

              I'm a minimalist, probably why I gravitate to it.

                Your titles says it all, but your words bring it to life.

                • Fay Slimm.

                  One certainly wonders what is in her mind Fay.

                  brilliant!
                  its one thing to voice our own truth's: relatable,
                  its on another sphere completely
                  to put ourselves in the shoes of someone, imagined
                  yet still
                  produce a poetic voice, that reads so authentic
                  what a wonderfully empathetic gift, you posses
                  dear Fay, and thank you
                  for choosing to share it with us
