Flirting with inspiration
This poem was birthed within the flashing seconds of flirting with 'inspiration'. It was just for fleeting seconds, so the epilogue is still at large 😂

Just the other day I scratched my memory,
The images of us that flashed were a mixture of joy and sorrow,
Yes! It was joy first...then sorrow so ugly,
Sorrows that sank deep till it touched the soul of my soul.
Till today, I still can't forgive myself for not taking a cue from your clues,
Truly, I owe my heart an apology for risking it in that journey of blind love,
Perhaps I was too selfish or I just didn't want to see reasons why we should split,
'Love is blind'; But I thought ours was an exception.
These days, I filter comfort from the words of the Sage, 'the sweet comes with the sour',
Never would I have imagined we would come to this,
And though with my tears, I've soaked the floor,
I'll learn to be strong, then go back to the ocean and hope to get a better 'fish'.

The poem was inspired by an ugly incident; a heartbreak. This my small heart ♥ was smashed 😂 by my erstwhile captivating lady.
I found solace the moment I picked up my pen and drafted the poem. It was never meant to come online though.
I'm super excited you like it. Thanks for stopping by.
