Ivory Memories

Folder: 
My Works

Broken porcelain,

on a silk floor.

Falling within..

dreaming without.

Glass glances follow my eyes.

In-human shadows,

carnival laughs.

Around the room they play.

Childish whispers,

and scandalous secrets.

Behind a perfect painted face.

Do not dare pass the white picket fence,

for fear of capture,

and of no return.

There in the safe and quiet house,

icy stares..

and yellow banana locks.

Behind those peach colored shutters,

lies a world we think we know.

Idle gossip,

and circled tea cup parties.

Lace and pink ribbon,

tinkling silver music,

crystal manners,

dusty with old age.

As you sit behind the fake glass window,

our real world floats away ...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem was about growing up, and the way that I tried to portray that was like a girl playing with dolls and when your young, well for me that was a big thing, lol... I still have all my dolls down in the basement for like remanicing and stuff. But basically it was for realizing on looking back at when you were young and how all that stuff you did when you were small, playing with your friends, telling stupid secrets and just being able to play all day without a care in the world.
