Heart cast away

A free verse poem

By Nica Breeze Published 5 years ago 1 min read

I am the line erased from your drawing

The chapter excluded from your book

The hair you shed

And occult teaching you rejected.

I am that rock which never found its place

In the foundation of your house

But was thrown away instead.

It seemed hopeless until...

The line completed someone else’s masterpiece

The chapter became the turning point of classic bestseller... no, life-saver!

The rock discarded is the cornerstone

Of the Gothic mansion where I live together

With my Love who CARES

And magic, raw and honest, sets the blood on fire

As now and here, in the dream-come-true

I softly run my fingers through his hair.

I started writing fairy-tales before I could spell the letters right, at age 6. My fiction and poetry are about one’s private world and love-hate relationship with reality.

I emigrated to America from Eastern Europe, found home in Montana.
