FREE VERSE Poem: Collector of Hearts, by Melissa Franco Nagisa

Scarlet flowers given and exchange of cards.
Chocolates be your treat. Much ado I’ll bring the wine.
Lips caress the glass given; poppy poison my treat is served.

I’ll laugh at your side and watch you.
A quick knife’s embrace to cut out what’s mine.
For you see it’s what I wanted much ado from the very start
Forget me not. My lovely gaze is the last you’ll ever see, my heart.
