Shattered Mirrors

Shattered Mirrors

 

Reflections realized and penned
Desertions, forgiveness to the end

Memories remembered and stored
Mercy is not forgotten O' lord

Child like dreams and whipping cream
Butterflies and fries and endless dreams

Tears I've cried laced with mace
Ice-cream sundaes shall take your place

Trying to see and save your face
Drifting into outer space

Lost in inner space
Slowly losing time and grace

Silvery seductions and lies
Lustful deceptions, reproductions I cry

No more stories or alibi's; he sighs
Boring nights all alone, I'll not dine alone

Colors of the rainbow are all gone
No need for her to mow the lawn

Sporting events are not the same
Something is missing in my brain

My life is being drained
Flushing down scuba tubes and pain

Breathless I never saw your pain; contained
In shatter mirrors I speak why so soon; it's only noon

Your broken hearted lover seeks; and reeks of
Redemption with out prevention from his mate

Our lives wrapped upped in red tape or was it always fate?
In bubble wrap one final date, one unforgettable mate

Pieces of glass with silent lips; loosed
Sinking endlessly, is this battling ship

Sunken by the shattering of mirrors
Shattered by; he cries the loss of you

About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: U.S. A. Indiana, Valparaiso, USA

Favorite Poets: Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Carl Sandburg these I have read some And so Many More. I have no Favorite or any that I dislike. Whom I consider to be poets; of course there are many Dark and hateful souls, who would cry out and to I will lend an ear, but some. They just leave a awful taste in my heart that I can not bear to read twice. Let alone as many times I would do normally; as I must.

Thanks I had a flow going and was knock off line

I was working at the berry on this one and now I can't get the feelings back. New system less time allotted for computer users, plus it is summer break here. The berry is packed with kids wanting to play games and check their pages. I will need some time, it isn't where I want it to be just yet. Thanks for the read Donnie/Sinbad
