Literature Text

Her body grew weary
of his aborted promises,

His infertile kisses failing
to penetrate her heart.

She is no longer
pregnant with him...

so now,
her bastard dreams
are secretly born
from another man.
*this poem was inspired by the master poet Bluesky27 and her masterpiece poem "a sensible woman" ([link])

two words in particular lingered in my mind: "bastard dreams".

it made me think of the title, "bastard dreams and aborted promises". so i wrote the poem based on that. since DA limits the title length, i was forced to cut the original title down and ended up with something i liked too. (but i still like the original title)
