It Was More Than A Heartbreak

it was more than a heartbreak when you said “i’m way over you so i went,”
you went to dispose everything that reminds you of me-
from the pillow we once shared keeping our heads together dreaming on a summer day,
the sheets we ultimately thought would keep us warm together; while we struggle to snuggle,
you give them all –
it was more than a heart break to know,
it was easy to let go.

it was more than a heartbreak when you left,
you left just as i was running back to you;
the dreams we dreamed,
you took them all with you,
the memories we dared lived,
you burned them down,
down the drain;
the songs we shared and melodies we hummed,
you let it all out
out for the world to bid adieu;
you too had said your saddest goodbye,

We have a collage to fire your imagination this week.

She is often called the weaker sex

Weak?

She is stronger than how she looks

And she’s tougher than the macho man

Delicate and beautiful to look at certainly

But nerves of steel sheathed in silk, is she

Lifting heavy weights of all entrusted to her

Seldom you will hear her complaining

She bears her responsibility with aplomb

And leaves you admiring the paradox

That is woman- both delicate and strong

Inspiration from https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2023/07/06/reenas-xploration-challenge-287/

A woman, who is okay about being alone, is a powerful woman.

She didn’t need anyone in her life right now, that was for sure. Her divorce; messy was putting it lightly. It wasn’t all Tom’s fault, but then it wasn’t hers either. Something had happened between her having Theresa, and growing apart. She told herself it didn’t matter if she were at home, looking after her child, while he was at work.

Losing part of herself, and it became clearer when her only child went to school. Before marriage, she worked as a manager in a computer firm. In charge of many, happy with her work.

Afterwards, being a housewife wasn’t for her.

Alone, like the tallest mountain peak, but there was a beauty in the ice. If you looked close enough, it had its own life. Breathing in, out, in a steady unison of power…

in tune with my essence
honing my skills
protecting my boundaries
daring to be myself
i blossom

i am a masterpiece

Where might certain power be?
It’s retained in what we feel and see.
Faith can be noticed, as well as, felt.
‘Good living’ promotes our society’s health.
Nature provides both wonder and awe,
As all living creatures are bound by her law.
Art, an expression born of a spiritual mind,
Eclectic endeavors promote growth ‘in kind’.
But solitude reminds each person unique,
Introspection’s prized function to find all we seek.
