The Heister

He's a heister, 

Now detaining my precious, 

Aloof and so vulnerable 

Yet he is careful 

Scared to crush the gem 

Into  smithereens

For it cannot be the same 

Once it is broken

Author's Note

Word for the day: smithereens (small pieces)

simply captivating write...a bit of mystique in this cynical,
engaging & profound write. I love your choice of words.
you're an incredibly talented poetess, & your ink drops
never fail to leave an inedible impression upon
one's heart. Thank you for sharing your poetic beauty
with us all. I look forward to 're visiting your art again.

A word I knew, at last! I love your word of the day poems. You are amazing, having the skill to take a word and make a well-crafted poem from it.
