Beneath the satin sheet...

by N J Thornton   Aug 31, 2005


Beneath the satin sheet, she lay curled,
weeping to the sound of her lonely
heart beating.
“NO” she cried,
but, not aloud,
disappearing into the fabric.
If only she’d lifted her head
one moment sooner,
He would have been curling up around her.
There, listening, as two hearts beat in time,
like delicate dove wings in flight.
In flight above the skies, and oceans,
above her broken shell.
But, no,
Clasping the milky blanket,
alone…
She only heard one lonely heart beat.
And so did he.

    Love the artitisc fabric and picture that you have created in the piece and the atmosphere that is accompanied.

    Good write and does not deserve the under rated votes that you have been given. Keep up the work.

    Regards,

    I don't know facts or anything, but commenting on poems should be used for what it is and not for argument. Whatever the reason it shouldn't be expressed here. Comments are to be structured if criticism is required...

    Anyway, a great poem. A hell of a lot of passion here!
