sparkle and shine...
curiosity I invent
in the abyss
of your eyes

greedy
and forsaking
prudence,
I reach for your
outstretched hand

three nights
of glistening hope
bartered for a
lingering ache
in my core

I should mourn
my lapse in
judgement
but it seems
I have neglected
the art of weeping
for far too long

when the dust
has settled,
will I hold
redemption
or simply
a remnant of
fool’s gold?

Thank you, John :)

I love your ability to show feelings in your writing.

Thanks :) Sometimes it's a challenge lol!

I like how you were able to show the internal back-and-forth battle all the way through the last line. Nice write.

I love the language that sounds so mystical but I didn't really understand it.

In a nutshell a person wrestling with emotions and consequences of a little tryst. :) Thanks Dee!
