love holds wander traditions woman city
he holds her
tremulous and tight
a woman in love
wander lust
part of his cultural heritage
separates them
traditions pulling at heart strings
it did not work out
wistfully looking out
at the modern architecture
from her city apartment
sometimes she remembers him
he is not forgotten
Those silent contemplative moments in the middle of the night are sometimes so loud they consume your soul...a beautiful piece perfectly complimented by the image
ReplyDeleteMen are beasts; they think of love and beauty as transient things.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it seems, if only we could forget.

ReplyDeleteOh goodness, this tugs at the heartstrings.
ReplyDelete"it did not work out"
ReplyDeleteHow often do we hear THAT story these days? Too often, I'm afraid.
You definitely captured the wistfulness in your words and in your choice of photo.
