Painted Heart

Painted heart. Realistically told.
Rhinestone and cubic zirconia
A forged value was shown.

Taken home, shown in treasured light
dusted, cared for, a treasured delight

A prize expensively purchased
The con's greatest trick
Truth hiding, a clock's waiting tick

Deception found: value lost
once a prize: garbage at great cost.

The owner bereaved in fooled beauty and truth
A house now empty, a reminder, a proof
echo of the past still creep in, yet hope for a new beauty to begin again.

  1. I like your poetic moods you get in sometimes. I definitely enjoyed the imagery of this one and understand the meaning.
