Floating Down On a Whisper

Floating Down On a Whisper

I think it might

have been

yesterday when ..

I caught

a brief glimpse

in some random

cracked

window pane

of my nemesis,

somewhere

off Oxford Street ..

And who looked

so much

younger than

I ever did,

back in the day ..

Now I do crave,

a whole day

without corners

or mirrors

and no strategic

retreats

to distract me ..

But since

you insist upon

using both

codes and fresh

metaphors

each new day ..

Then we don’t

have much further

to look for

the right answers ..

Since that

old red silk scarf

of yours,

says it all anyway ..

As it floats,

down on a whisper

to the most 

dangerous

of sidewalks below ..

Red silk and dangerous sidewalks spell trouble. Catching your own reflection in a cracked mirror can be an eye opener. You know at times we can be our own worse enemy. Maybe the nemesis here is self. By facing that head on, maybe we can neutralize it. As to codes and metaphors, well you stand guilty chum:) A poem which tells me that the author wants one clear day without the negative hurting self bleeding through. Well that’s my penny worth this wet and getting ready for the storm morning. The invoice is on its way. I have given you a hefty discount because I think you need it :)) Seriously, have a great day my friend. I had to read several times and ponder here on another intriguing write.

.. Oh' they did indeed :)

I agree with Chris. We can be our own worse enemy and our biggest judge. You took me down the path and I could see the old red silk scarf floating down on a whisper.

With love,
