Three Things Challenge #941

Your three words today are:

OPEN

OPAQUE

OPAL

Misaligned 

He was an opal 

She was opaque

He was an open-book 

Close vest pocket was her take.

–

He shared his desires and dreams

She was tight-lipped of such things 

He wanted to be close

She required that he’d have wings.

–

He shared his love 

She held hers back 

He was non-maligned

While she would attack.

–

He softened his words

Whilst hers were harsh

He expressed how things felt 

She disappeared for Marche.

–

He tried to bridge the gap 

She spoke what he needn’t hear

His honesty, used against him

Her self-righteousness, a spear.

–

Foolishly he married her

Thinking she’d change 

It ended badly in divorce 

and that isn’t strange…

  1. I am truly an open book, just read my blog and you shall see there is nothing opaque about me. I chose to me more like an opal showing small points of shifting and shedding my old colors that swam in a darkness and I’m finding my way like a ring arising from the darkest point to the lightest.
