disconnectedA Poem by Mia Sparrowthe lighting is muted in here like gray skies in dreams lacking in vibrancy Wanting in warmth. i look out the window and ignore the sun’s rays. silence fosters disconnection and i am adrift in a vacuum littered with shards of memories that lay stagnant, never dissolving. cloistered desires remain unspoken as i wait for vain reprieve. solitude guards me like armour and i, captive of my own device, reach out in rueful futility. my voice is vanished as strangers pass beyond. i am afflicted with their existence though covetous of more than flesh. reclusion safeguards against loss yet smarts in the light of foreclosed desires. thus i abide in the shadows of a studied smile. © 2019 Mia Sparrow |
