Two Love Tropes with a Metaphor Twist

Jerry Reynolds

Timing

 

Your last lover entered the room

Silk shirt and a Stetson hat

Tight jeans, ready to act

Heads turned eyes did moon

Dear lady-friend of mine

This would be a perfect time

To send me a sign

And place your tender hand in mine.

 

================================

 

Not Forgotten

 

Her love was simple

Like footsteps of a breeze.

My love was contraband

Like ragweed in the sand.

On a plain in my heart

The Lord of not to be— battled

The squire— of could have been.

    Two Jerry and it is the second that I identify with more. A great write of what might of been but was not destined to be. Dreams do not always meet reality.

    Sometimes losers can be winners? I hope.

    Jerry, thereโ€™s a strong contrast here that really lands. The first piece moves with confidence and presence, while the second settles into something more reflective and unresolved. Together, they carry both motion and memory. Beautifully done, my friend. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›
