Fading Mirrors

I forgot the significance of forgotten places in a much missed wardrobe, of faces in the lines of books that created spaces in my consciousness. I remember now, the cool of quietness in a busy room

Foretold misfortunes make their mark in fading mirrors

And drown

On the wall that watched you hurt for a plastic throne.

Recollect the razor at your throat

With the note you write

To few

In parched letters.

Syllables starve for an honest remark

Of the pages I embarked upon;

The flickering falsities of fickle desire.

Not one

To greet with nostalgia,

To admire or taste

Not reeking of waste

And

Nasty,

Loathsome rest

In a crib of idle descriptions.

Nameless depictions shine in spite of effulgent phenomenologies.

The luminance of dancing in a silent room

And the dust

On my favourite worst writes

Author's Note

God it has pretty much been 3 months since I have written anything, so I am horribly embarrassed of this piece. I am working my way back to the place I want to be at.

Seems as though you're trying desperately to find yourself 'tween the spaces and in your poetry Willow, whatever the case may be, you always have an abstruse though lovely way of bringing me into your world..

I am.. I really am. Leaving home has been amazing but I find myself giving little space for creativity and well, for myself all together I suppose! I pray it all comes rushing back to me in some kind of epiphany; don't we all!

Thank you for your ongoing support Frieda, I bare your reviews with much gratitude. Hope everything is going well for you lovely!

[Frieda P]

I would disagree with your author's note and have to agree with Trace, in the comments below. Your first and last stanzas were the ones that most stood out to me.

[Trace]

Sometimes we all need a break,
but we find that the words will always wander around in our minds until we make it back to the pen and paper. ( ok, insert keyboard here )

Look forward to reading more from your talented pen.
