Bud’s Of Spring… A collaboration..

Buds of Spring

Georgette looks out of the windowMourning, Tears, Depression, Cry, Woman, Sad, Human

The cold is fast thawing out and little fresh sprigs are sprouting.

It should be warm soon

Yet the coldness in her heart did not match the liveliness of the budding Spring

Her heart feels like a ghost town.

Where is he?

He promised her everything and she believed in him…

Counting the days and hoping that it’s just a dream.

A COOKING POT AND TWISTED TALES

*********

She wallowed, has winter turned to spring.

Georgette thought about him all the time,

In her mind she went over, all the special times they shared together.

By her pillow she kept, the last shirt he had worn,

It still smelled like him, and made her want him more.

Would he keep his promise and return,

Or would spring arrive everywhere but in her heart. MANDIBELLE

*********

From the heart’s wreckage

springs hope, a bloom delivered

“Miss you” scrawled on note

not forgotten yet

not this Georgette, rose in hand

sweet perfume in nose

Wait until summer

search for him in heat shimmers

raising wavy hopes… MELINDA KUCSERA

Georgette sat wistfully looking out her window.

The sun was shining. The birds were tweeting, prancing, dancing and courting.

Large, colourful butterflies performed a graceful aerial ballet whiles the bees supped nectar and collected pollen.

The soft breeze ruffled the lush new green leaves in the trees.

It looked so serene and peaceful. Everywhere but in her heart. It was barren.SOUL GIFTS

Please can someone help bail Georgette out?

We can’t let her heart languish in a barren state 😉

Feel free to add your contribution and the collabo will continue if you do.

  7. Excellent writing by all contributors. I await an ending. Maybe she just gets up and goes to work like most of our stories end, but then we know she is still human, not a zombie forever. Somebody help her see the bees and be motivated to get a move on. Her man’s no good anyway to treat her like that.

  8. car door slammed outside
    the neighbor out for a drive?
    a glance steals her breath

    in top hat and tails
    he’s come, red rose in his hand
    his eyes search for her

    Above by Melinda Kucsera and I am adding to:

    Our eyes meet, my heart beating wildly
    The wind has calmed and
    the stillness is haunting
    I can feel the blood rush through my veins

    But, it’s not HIM
    who is this man, in top hat and tails
    and a red rose?
    Why is he here, where is he from?
    He approaches me with a smile
    Is this meant to be?

  9. The children played around her
    She found no joy in their banter as she usually did
    Her heart was facing a tumultuous storm

    How was she going to get out of this?
    She had abandoned all for him
    Yet his reward was to up and leave
    “How does one move on after this?”
    She thought to herself
    Not even the children gave her the will to go on

    And yet, move on, she had to
    Mustering all the energy in her
    She left the corner for the kitchen…..

  10. here you go:

    He put out his hand
    a note folded in his fist
    she read it and smiled

    A diamond ring flashed
    fell from paper’s folds to palm
    slides on ring finger

    A church flower decked
    he stands tall at the alter
    she in her white dress…

  12. From Melinda:

    He put out his hand
    a note folded in his fist
    she read it and smiled

    A diamond ring flashed
    fell from paper’s folds to palm
    slides on ring finger

    A church flower decked
    he stands tall at the alter
    she in her white dress…

    I am adding to:

    so angelic and serene
    so undeniably beautiful
    she literally floated down the aisle
    as if on a cloud

    her heart beating with joy
    her once tear filled eyes were smiling
    as they exchanged their vows and promises
    she knew she had made the right choice

    they gazed into each others eyes
    cherishing their very special moment
    a moment she will never forget
    one she will never regret

    she always knew he was one
    her dreams come true
    her life now complete
    the past forever gone
    the present forever here
    the future forever near
