More Than Lint (Or So I'm Told)

“Our thoughts are epochs in our lives; all else is but as a journal of the winds that blow while we are here.” - Thoreau

blind to every other woman that i meet

i blew you a kiss from across heaven's street

i watched you catch it and wear it 'round your neck like a locket

but then you took it off and stuffed it deep down into your pocket

hearts and pockets can both have lint

along with a hole

or so i'm told

Author's Note

“Good religious men, with the love of men in their hearts, and the means to pay their toll in their pockets.” - Thoreau

[Anita Frader]

Unrequited love is tough to swallow. A bit of lint might soften the blow?

[Pete]

nearly anything will soften the blow of a broken heart but not so easy to fill the hole.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

I suppose she should have kept it around her neck, closer to her heart, for safety's sake. :) A good read, Pete.

[Pete]

a catch is not a guaranteed hold.
thanks fgf.

Ahh for the love to be taken off and hidden in a pocket then only to be lost for there was a hole.

To have someone throw your love away sad and disheartening

[Pete]

love can be fickle. too many different meanings along with hidden agendas.

[Poetic Beauty]

That can be very true
