"If ❀ only" Pt.1
the white witch only wore black
black blouse.
black skirt.
black dress.
with a pencil in her hair and a sharp tongue to match
she longed for an ordinary life
something acceptable
. . . honorable and noble.
Awakened
by a
fiery fairy
of stained glass and stone
Enveloped in stillness and fascination
their heartstrings were slowly sewn together with each embrace
but time is a relentless demon...
....
(the fiery fairy vanishes)
...
the white witch was left
unbalanced
embarrassed
abandoned
Devoured by motherhood and a civil union

What a poignant and introspective poem
The final line, "Devoured by motherhood and a civil union", is a powerful commentary on the ways in which societal expectations can shape and constrain individual identity and desire.
