a tango of two shot glasses in the moonlight (or dangerous liasons)

a tango of two shot glasses in the moonlight (or dangerous liaisons)

 

 

splayed emphasis

heart's affliction

split affection

the mirror sees both ways

 

and i love both of you

when the reflection

feels just right.

This piece appears as though a good, long, hard look at thine inner self ...

The mirror challenges us. And sometimes, like Alice, we fall through the looking Glass. But love truly will bring you back when it is unconditional.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for pulling this one down from the dusty attic, M.J.

How is it clarity comes when the senses are blurred.
There could easily be a part two to this one.
Sad -but- Excellent imagery Jacob.
The scene is set for a late night Noir.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I love film Noir....thank you, Cherrie.
I might have to work on a part two if the reflection comes more into focus.

Did I just read a rhyme? Must have been my imagination. Reflections in mirrors are great to write about. They seem to look right through us into infinite introspection.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Thank you, Bill...yes, they do look back and through us.

Sounds like the words of an affair.
One you don't want to give up.
The love you go back to.
The love you run to.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i like your poetic response here, Paul...and am so sorry i never replied to this before...Not sure how i could have been so negligent. Thank you.

Interesting things can take place between two shot glasses ... Or between a man and a woman peering through their shot glasses ... A hint of alcohol induced romance lingers here along with a Tequila scent of booze ...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your words, Marv.
