When The Heart Witnessed Love's Shadows

Salvia.S

Loving you feels like gazing at stars and the moon,

But loneliness and hopelessness is what i only own.

It often feels like an obsession with no escape,

The heart is being poisoned in a deadly landscape,

Finally, the heart feels forbidden,

And love is eternally kept hidden.

    As the stars and moon shine let love shine, there is no harm in giving of your light. Some may choose to shield it or not look at it but it makes no difference. A most poetic and lovely write Salvia and a fave

          Dearest Salvia, my friend, this is tender and heartbreaking…the star-bright love, the poisoned loneliness, the heart hiding what it can’t bear to lose. You captured that emotional divide with real grace. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                Love conveys hearts and kisses.
                Yet, as we see here, love can be a dagger to the heart.

                    the pain and pangs of unrequited love are described in a very emotional way - but do not despair - Cupid can strike when least expected - so keep the hopes shining
