As Truth Would Say It

  
 
   
The beauty in your white  
panties,  
black stilettos,  
and the imaginary collar  
you owned
yet never wore  
stole my heart  
   
The life in your palms,  
love in your voice,  
and spiritual scripture  
in your book  
held it true  
   
Yet something pegged  
a fense post between us !
   
It wasn't the Seas    
we'd need to travel  
or children I feed  
   
The fense post was solid;  
cold steel    
anchored in concrete.
   
It was the ring  
on your wedding finger!  
   
I ran    
I ran from that.
