Heartache – Double Oddquain

Heart
aching loose
over years of loss
longing to find fulfilment
one
with another closely held
with filaments strong –
a spiders
web

Now
broken free
adrift and lonely
this heart beats rhythmically
on
sounding a final lament
it splinters apart
on deaf ears
lost.

Under the blankets! – Oddquain

In
my secret
hideaway I’m safe
from monsters that would track my
thoughts.

This oddquain is my response to Colleen’s #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 238,
#SynonymsOnly
, where the prompt words are sanctuary (hideaway) and follow (track).
