Poetic Musings

Empty Shell

She had promoted her family of
Children and husband laughing:

It was always her dream to nourish
Any space where hope was lacking.

To see their smiles engaging wiles –
Witness intelligence overcome trials;

To cherish them where she’d had none
Was definition of love’s purpose above.

But, to have every effort bent to match
Man’s subconscious brought damnation.
