Latched

Magpie #92 


A lady had a lover that stroked her care free hair.
He held her mighty love with a gentle kind of care. 
Kindred spirits they became through day and through the night.
Like a lock and key they latched together close and tight.
Yet through the test of time, what they had faced many storms.
What held them together became weak and mighty worn.
Then one day her lover became a stranger setting her love free
But this lady holds no freedom, for her heart is locked now with no key.

    Very sad ending, a locked heart with no key - nice imagery.

    this made me sad....locked away with no key. That feels like no hope. And Carrie...I've learned where there's breathe there's hope. :(

    I like the title and the image of being "latched."

    Sad that it came undone.

    All the more tragic because it is so commonplace, I fear.

    A very deep and touching poem, indeed her heart is locked, with fear of being hurt again

    Pulling off a rhyming verse that is so touching is a tough thing and you did a wonderful job.

    Shame, something ought to be done about it. Good tale, though. Excellently well thought out.

    I wonder if Joanne Woodward feels this way? Such a lovely and sad piece.

    I love your header. Did you take that photo?
