She lay on the bed
Her arms extended
ever so listlessly
Her lips quivering
with a waxed passion
Her tresses arranged
in careless swirls…
Her skin radiating
a lingering warmth
of some passing summer
Her singular tear
with the ripping force
of a bursting volcano…
Her eyes searching
through the myriad pores
on the plastered ceiling
For one glimpse of return…
For one moment of benign sparkle…
For just one sign
Of he who had kept
- Of he who had left -
her lying on the bed
with her arms extended
ever so listlessly…

<3 <3 ***
the whole poem is a bursting volcano
v nice
Whoa!!! I hope the lava didn’t burn you, Amira!
Glad you liked the poem! Thanks for the kind words, friend..
Gives ANOTHER meaning to “Caregiver”…Beautiful!
And the poem:
“Of he who had kept
- Of he who had left -
her lying on the bed…
well, of course, I remembered THAT line…I have NEVER “left’ he on the bed”
(Can’t stand a woman crying because of me
or LAUGHING AT me!–grin!)
KAVITA….you are one-of-a-kind!
Hmmm… one of a kind, eh? I wonder how to take that..
Alright, I’ll take it as a compliment now, Steve 
It’s a good thing you don’t leave her there to cry/laugh at you.. you don’t leave her there.. Period! That’s a relief…
Glad you liked this poem, my friend.. and thank you ever so much for your words of appreciation… means a lot to me!!

haunting suppleness

Lovely angst…
