Deep she thought - New Wave
French cinema; discussing Proust
over cappuccino.
She wasn't prepared for the nightmares
traumatised sleep, waking
eyes dark-ringed. She tried
leaving but was in too deep
dark-placed. Finally he left her
to grief unsolaced.

My husband's hair was so black that it reflected rainbows in the sun, but now it's gone mostly grey. It still loops in curls like fingers saying, "come here."
'...in too deep
dark-placed' Superb phrase. Why are we so frequently seduced by that which would destroy us?
this caught me right from the opening line!
Enjoyable read. Definitely deep and dark. Good writing.
Lots of darkness in that relationship - well told!
Oh, very mysterious...
Dark hair, to dark nightmares. I wonder at all the lines you left unwritten.
You could easily have written that about a man from my long-ago past. Marvelous.
Seduced by what we see can be deceiving. Well done!
Seductive. Makes you wonder what brought on the nightmares.
"Deep she thought"
I love the commentary in this.
Juliet,
The open heart so easily bruised, but the exquisit joy sacrificed if too cautious.

I love the different riffs on deep and dark through this poem/story.
I like the repetitive useof deep here. It somehow enhances the darkness of it...

This is good...I really like "dark-placed."
So well written about how looks --- and the dreams we associate with them --- can be deceiving. But people need to learn this in their own ways...
Shivery good.
The dangerous relationship - maybe we all have had that experience ... I can relate anyway. Well-said, well-written.
beautiful ~ this brings up memories of a diffrent time, years and years ago ...
Fabulous writing.
Deep and dark indeed.
Love it.
