I Promise You the Stars

My lover brought me flowers.
Plucked from the midnight sky.
He had promised them
on our first night...
How he lied, how he lied.

The Moon and stars were roses.
The Sun a daffodil.
The planets all of various colors,
made the bouquet seem so real.

My heart was his open field.
Longing for his touch.
Promising in return a yield,
but never giving much...

My lover, his words were piercing.
As the thrusting of his side.
He promised each of us the world,
He never knew we lied.

Two can play the game of love.

It is always through the memories of solitude, heartbreak and betrayal that we triumph with our greatest works in expression. You have become better for it in many ways. Let them be forced to see your heart and soul before they speak.

the emphasis of "How he lied, how he lied." was fantastic. Loved this!

Great poetry! It's also a great source for letting those feelings out too, isn't it? If I had not had my writing a few years ago when I had my heart busted wide open, I would have gone insane and then I would have never met my husband...lol. Great style sweetie! ;)

Nice analogy (stars - flowers).
Loved it!
Too bad the blossoms brought with them the sting of heartbreak...

Great poem, Lori. Many a knight in shining armor is nothing more than used car salesman--a bullshit artist--not a lover. :) Still there is beauty and poetry and yes--that vision of love, and all the pain that comes with wanting that something more, something better. I guess your poems bring up a lot of my own memories.
