She ran her hand
over the abrasive surface
of his broken soul
He walled his heart
over a loss so strong
unwilling to hurt again
She knew deep in her heart
a handful of pixie dust
would not suffice
He knew she was different
and maybe that was good
still fear held him
She was a tinker
a fixer of sorts
He was broken
a lost little toy
If anyone could mend
the hurt inside
she was the one and
he was the prize
okay, so i saw 'handful' and the first thing that comes to mind is pixie dust...i cannot fathom why. So i went with it. i suppose it turned out okay... Three Word Wednesday [3WW=>abrasive, handful, loss].
'Pixie Dust' is a fine image and was a great lead into the magic of the love story..Jae

ReplyDeleteAs long as he appreciates Lady Bountiful's efforts, I approve:)
ReplyDeleteYou have given me an idea for my prompt next week.Thank you.
If only pixie dust could mend what's broken, it would feel like Valentine's Day everyday. Your poem reminded me of my "Messiah" phase, when I would find broken hearts that needed fixing and try to repair them myself. My heart got broken in the process. So I finally decided to look for a heart that was intact, found one, and it's going well so far. :)
ReplyDeleteRMP,
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm in awe. The second stanza is especially powerful, a great image. I pictured a stone-mason laying block, closing in a dark room. Great piece all around!
Peace, Nico
