Glass Doll

Inspired by the princess Angela Marie and the legendary Stevie Nicks

“Glass Doll”

 

I keep a glass doll

By me always

It holds the shape of her,

Is filled with smoke and memories

As well as the essence

Of all the wild nights

We two have shared,

Shoes and cares abandoned

In favor of the tickling

Blades of grass against

Our bare feet

As they twirl and dance

Beneath the vibrant sky

Alight with the many stars

I captured from our eyes

And placed there

So that we might

Always be reminded of

How we two once were

Bright and shining, too,

And connected like

Those lucky constellations.

I keep a glass doll

By me always

It holds the soul of her as

We become like gypsies

Crying for a night bird.

Scott:

This is such a good poem. One of your better ones that I have read. Nice image, the glass statue by the bed, the remeniecing in the poem. The ending ties it together nicely, I think.

Thanks for posting it.
