first there was uncertainty
then there was trust
followed by love
and soft kisses
and the bond of security
until differences
led to enmity
and unresolved ennui
where the butterfly returned
into her layered cocoon
uncertain of life
lost without trust
not dead, not yet
just waiting to be anew.
masterful, Sara ... you've managed to capture how love can move in an convoluted cycle ...

This is beautiful poetry, Sara!
I love these lines,
"where the butterfly returned
into her layered cocoon
uncertain of life
lost without trust
not dead, not yet
just waiting to be anew."
Excellently written!
Thank you, and
Happy Valentine's Day!
Love, Sheila
An outstanding ontological pondering expressed with wise images and good rhythm, "resplendent in the dark" has paid its poetic dues with fourteen flawless brilliant cut diamonds.
In this one you prove that you are an accomplished poet.
In only 14 lines, you tell graphically of anquish and heart pain.
It doesn't have to be from your experience, because it's great writing!
Hell, I'm dang envious! Have a Happy Heart Day for Lovers, anyway.

A very wistful write, but all too true, Sara. Very well captured in spirit and well-written. You've chosen a wonderful graphic to go with this, too.
Love,
CJ
Sharp...hit home with at least one soul and heart this morning (me), this is a wise write with a hint of sadness of how all too often love sparks, blossoms and then withers out. Also the graphic is a perfect match to your words.
