*Heartless*
With a soul wrapped in twilight, her wings of perfume, spread for the last time, gently kissed the horizon.
Nothing to regret.
No one to blame.
No man’s memory to belong to.
Her bird eyes shone with diamonds dripping to the ground.
If she had a heart
it would be broken.

crocodile tears! nice little piece here.
makes me (the reader) want to know more about her.
very arresting choice of descriptive words used.
good job.
O. this is so my heart’s true poem. and the illustration is so
making me lose my mind. a bird cage[i collect them] with
rose petals swimming around and that dress & gloves …O.
This was well written. I enjoyed it and especially like the way you ended it. Great work.
great ending line,

love it,
vivid capture of a state of mind, in a way, that is true and could be heart breaking.
Cold, clean, and final…..Her bird eyes shone with diamonds dripping to the ground…..a great line, very vivid.
sad,
very lovely done imagery.
” Nothing to Regret and no one to blame” arrgh I wish! :-)… Great poetry as always my great friend..
Awww… very sad….don’t like seeing anyone’s heart broken…
It’s all good Daydreamer…she has no heart 🙂
I love the end. Very cruel. 😀
A personified vagary with wings of perfume…intoxicating and provocative.
the images print themselves like stamps onto the reader..and what a wonderful last line..
Super match of words to the disdainful image.
if she had a heart it would be broken..whew…nice close…really nice visuals throughout….
like it eclipse
That sounds like you’ve been picking up inside my mind these days … therefore I kind of sympathize and love it, despite the sad melody between the lines!
