PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I see an almost sad reflection in my vanity table's

mirror

and I am nearly possessed by the big hurt filled eyes

staring back at the starer

along with punched paper hearts scattered all about on

the bedroom floor

while door drawings of long ago discarded remorse

chase me like never before

they extol no grace only gutlessly grim virtue upon my

already overly troubled mind

as they gloat by regaling stories of happy memories

now put far, far behind

note it is wise to not look far beyond one's constantly

shifting reflection

for what is captured there may be a step won but one going

strong in the opposite direction

that's when you must beware of the onset of perplexion

take on emotions in regard to logic

section by complex section

remember to live not so blindly on the dust of

yesterday's could have been 's

concentrate instead of future memories to be made tomorrow

with all your new friends...........
