Liberated
into the haven
of a mausoleum
lies a dove deceived-
its tattered pinions
a reminder of
a pledge riven,
a reverie tainted,
an innocence
betrayed.
Save her.
Let the shadows
of her present
console with
saccharine lies,
warm her with
tinned caresses
of boughs
freshly severed-
a revival of
splintered promises
of a new day–
as verdant hues
decay to dust.

I love the saccharine lies – a line used in several places of a story I wrote pre-marriage about dating. THERE is one very morose jungian synchronicity example for you 😘
I love the image of those last few lines. Nicely done.
Dear Dr. Phoebe,
