Love Poem: A Wink

A Wink

I write upon the tablet of your bleeding soul 
For another man’s bold kiss you left me 
Alone, my heart throbbing inside, 
And, I cried for your touch. 
Solitude drenched in bitterness my aching heart 
I sought refuge in empty page with ink. 

I wrote upon one tablet piercing words, I think   
You might imagine since we are apart  
Now telling your presence how much,  
When you left, my soul died  
But I am deign to play again in major key  
My heart will be anew completely whole. 
 
I will write upon the tablet another role   
With a new exciting lover t’will be  
One in whom I will not confide  
Secrets we shared and such, 
For my mind then, my dear, will be so clear and smart  
I will have left on this blank page...a wink!
