- Love's Mantra to Happiness -

Missing image

 

 

He recited mantras while hand held

tangible truths,  porcelain shard
from last lover who smirked;
captured his raw Courage  
inside a sacrificial jar.

Kaleidoscope pictures painted in Mind
with watercolors, washed away~
thoughts bled out thoroughly
as Hope stuttered for ‘Help’
but nobody heard pleas.

Many ears engrossed in daily gossip

seduced by soured rumors spilled
yet he prayed to have one piece
of near perfect peach pie
which others had also
tried to enjoy taste

but her breath exhaled spoiled flavors
and rotten personality reaped pain,
tainted Love until Light Angel
released the jar’s contents.


 

Author notes

Prompt:

Happines is like mercury.
Hard to hold, and when we drop it, it shatters into a million pieces.
Maybe the bravest of all are those who have the courage to reach for it again.
-Mary Higgins Clark-

**When You have Love in Your Heart...
Happiness can find way its way in...
even after it has been shattered into a million
pieces...
for the opportunity to Love and be Loved
can be reconnected...
