It seems like a tie to marriage in towers, to lock all dreams she wished for...
A part of her dreams just left on water and emitting ripples on water.....
Lol... your poem and words are inspiring... tat leaves the reader to come up with their own version...
i think she desires a perfect love that eludes her. she has seemingly had it before but something always goes wrong because she hasn't 'mastered' it yet. perhaps she tries too hard. she needs to be patient and just let it happen in it's own time instead of forcing it and ruining it. just my take but what do i know ... :)
Lingering! I must admit this one does not do me ;) I simply do not understand .. can not find a foothold on rhythm .. I like the splash of rhyme ... imaging for me is confused ... I know there is something in there that you are wanting to say but the obscurity keeps me from relating ... :( great pic ... title is very powerful ... :) would like more clarity of theme

I admit, I'm not good at interpreting nuanced poetry, so I hope for another reviewer to help me get a clue! *wink! wink!* Now I'm on my own! OK, I got sensations that are so far outside my world of experience that I'm not even sure what I was imagining as I read your poem. In a debutante-like situation, a girl feels flawed but keeps her flaws to herself, play-acting the irreproachable life she's expected to flaunt, given her station in life. At some point, she BECOMES this imaginary perfect model catch, so that marriage sweeps her into a perfect Stepford wife role. Clearly, this comes across to me as ironic, since every perfect life harbors hidden tortures. Thank you for another opportunity to stretch my ability to imagine outside the dots of literal readings!
