Twix

Mood Music

Twix and Twine

A second plus

Within the venues

Of time compressed

The inner self

Exudes expression

The outer carcass

For times succession

 

Blue softness

Eludes transfixed

Red lips

Smile august

To speak the story

Untold

Of times wasted once

Never to hold

 

Laughter misleading

Bright yellows shine

Of a moment

Left in time

She wondered hard

Her youth now gone

Memories of childhood

Suppressed forlorn

 

Is this what life is

Never to be more

A shadowed

Existence

Purposed now lost

To be owned

By another

In the Hearts lonely lock!

Greg the Bard,
I have been visiting new writers, (to me) and also thier early writings as well. "Twix" is an important signal to be aware of the place for many as we pass youth and young adulthood. None of us stay young forever. I worked as a nursing assistant in my younger work life and remember the patients and who they were. Each individual became special in their own way. This poem of yours reminded me of that time in life. Thank you so much for writing this wonderful poem..............Kathy

this is very colorful and the longing is palpable, it twines off the page, wrapping around my imagination and pulling me closer . . .

To be owned by another...what a line, so many couples are living with a person that controls their whole life..as we get old we think back on all of the years of time we have done nothing with..Very nice write..God bless...Valentine

You pulled me right in to the core of
this story. Sad, lonely, melancholy in tone,
b ut beautifully expressed in fluid, flowing style.
This story is sad, but it is life and a nice tribute to
a very important part of your life.
