Pretty things
Lay hold of my heart
like the moon does the sea.
I pray my soul thrives
In the darkest of depths
and I never forget the sun.
Love is a beautiful tyranny
and the winner
always loses the most.
May someone remember
the light in our eyes...
like the moon does the sea.
I pray my soul thrives
In the darkest of depths
and I never forget the sun.
Love is a beautiful tyranny
and the winner
always loses the most.
May someone remember
the light in our eyes...

Dear K,
After reading several times it’s the third stanza that keeps me enthralled. I like how you’ve used the word tyranny and the idea of loss for the person who’s in love. It’s such a great concept, to me, I think that can be so true for those of us who lose a sense of self when love is in play. I’ve enjoyed the thinking I’ve been doing since reading this poem. Lovely piece. H🌷

Perfectly said, all those little sacrifices
we make to change ourselves for love,
to please another...
sometimes we don't
recognize ourselves afterwards.
Thank you for the wonderful comment.
