Soft

WL Schuett

 

A fever of superstition 

nipping at a butterfly.

a shared adversary 

bounded by secrets . 

Her eyes a soft 

quiet brown. 

 

A plate spinner

in a vast forest of lies .

The embodiment of the thorn . 

The essence of the Rose . 

The soft hand of dusk 

pulled down the night . 

 

Not recognizing the borders 

balanced on a bottle of wine . 

Hypnotized by the color 

of spectral vibrations. 

Her voice was soft and calm . 

 

Knowing that life oscillates 

between the adventurous 

and the ridiculous . 

The heart she 

hadn’t wanted to give away , 

softly broke .

    Wonderful choice of words, great writing, WL!
    Love the last stanza. Wondering if the heart broke BECAUSE she did not want to give it away? Would it still be whole if given away?
