Her Name Was Desiree

by Christen Kuikoua   Aug 25, 2023


In a realm where dreams dance in light's embrace,
Desiree dwelled with an enchanting grace,
Her name a symphony, a tale to unfold,
In life's grand expanse, a story of old.

With eyes like pools of liquid grace,
Stars reflected in their shimmering space,
Galaxies whispered secrets untold,
A universe within, a story to behold.

Her voice, a melody, stirring the soul,
A river of silk, making broken hearts whole,
Magic woven through the air's gentle trace,
A soothing balm, pain to efface.

In twilight's realm, a friend I did find,
Desiree's company, a salve for the mind,
Laughter and songs after choir's fire,
Two spirits entwined, soaring higher and higher.

Beneath the moon's silver and soft caress,
Dreams took flight, hearts free to confess,
Her laughter an echo, sweet and fine,
A serenade of joy, life's melody divine.

Yet as autumn leaves fell, emotions did twine,
Like trees in the wind, a dance so divine,
Beneath the starlit curtain of night's embrace,
My heart's hidden whispers set the soul to race.

Truth unveiled, feelings laid bare,
Friendship's foundation, a dare to repair,
Fear danced between gazes that met,
Love's confession lingered, a silhouette.

In her eyes, a gentleness waned,
Love's tendrils tangled, emotions restrained,
Our once-pure bond, now shadowed by doubt,
A tempest of feelings, swirling about.

Fearful of loss, a treasure we'd known,
Connection once vibrant, now subtly overthrown,
Yet trust remained, despite the strain,
A friend's drifting course in a sea of pain.

Time arrived with bitter goodbyes,
A whispered farewell, beneath somber skies,
Hearts heavy, two paths to explore,
In life's labyrinth, a bond to restore.

Desiree's tale, her eyes a gleam,
A soaring voice, a distant dream,
An enchanting spirit once held so tight,
A lesson in love, and in courage's light.

But let this story not linger in despair,
From broken bonds, strength takes to the air,
A phoenix of hope from ashes will rise,
New dawns await with promising skies.

Remember Desiree, aglow in name,
In life's grand tapestry, a chapter's flame,
Every ending births a fresh, hopeful start,
An inspiring journey etched within the heart.

    This is lovely. So who is Desiree? Hehe. Seems like you love to use the words phoenix and tapestry, at least from what I've read in your latest poems. Thanks for sharing!
