A Heart Out Of Season
<p><br/></p><p>She sits in silence, day by day,</p><p>The colors of love fading to gray.</p><p>Once a bride with stars in her eyes,</p><p>Now she sighs beneath routine skies.</p><p><br/></p><p>The house is quiet, the bed is cold,</p><p>Her husband's touch feels worn and old.</p><p>No words of fire, no sparks remain—</p><p>Just echoes lost in love’s domain.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then came a breeze, so fresh, so new,</p><p>A young boy’s smile, the world askew.</p><p>He spoke with dreams and eyes so wide,</p><p>He made her feel the flame inside.</p><p><br/></p><p>A glance too long, a laugh too near,</p><p>He stirred her soul and drew her near.</p><p>Not lust alone, but something more—</p><p>A longing she could not ignore.</p><p><br/></p><p>She battles guilt, she knows the wrong,</p><p>But hearts aren’t built so firm, so strong.</p><p>She craves a life that breathes again,</p><p>Beyond the years, beyond the pain.</p><p><br/></p><p>Yet in her mind, a war is waged,</p><p>Between desire and vows long aged.</p><p>For love that strays may bloom, then burn—</p><p>And some roads crossed have no return.</p><p><br/></p><p>So there she sits, with aching grace,</p><p>A woman trapped in time and place.</p><p>In love, perhaps, but torn apart—</p><p>By duty’s chain and a hungry heart.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
