Shades of Poison Ivy.
Sonnet of shadows.
☘️twisted, betraying heart entwined in poison ivy
☘️ locked away...for my peace of mind...you beg for release
Wicked, Narcissus incarnate, caring only about that which you desire
never thinking of me and what I wish to hold dear to my soul...Love
☘️you are a fickle devil , inconsiderate, degenerate, wanton, debased
breaking my psyche, unraveling my being to the deepest depths of despair
☘️then you leap into the bosom of another, sating your selfish needs
☘☘You are like poison ivy, an itchy blistering rash - toxic...undisciplined
☘️causing an allergic reaction - rendering me incapable of blessed peace
☘️When we first met, you promised joy unspeakable, filled with glory
For a short time you kept your promise, then you leapt into the chest
☘️of another who made you sinful overtures of plutonic adorations
☘️Still, how I miss your flowery, flirtatious, felicitations and fun overtures
Return to me...I free you, forgive you...take me back. Make me whole again.
