Mirror

Just another grouping of words

The soft glow of the moonlight
Has lost all its luster
And as this scar tissue grows
I'm left to wonder why
Plastic skin left wanting
Tinfoil lips that kindly whisper
They say ignorance is bliss
Yet you return with glass eyes
Like a child with a spyglass
I watch from afar
Close enough for stone pilots
To crash and burn in your sky
No wasted moments of twilight
Just time we let intertwine
We're on stage for the witness
Just actors, you and I

Sometime love lead us to dead-end.
"We're on stage for the witness
Just actors, you and I"'

mirrors show the best and the worst of us. sometimes I worry what would happen if we broke them.

[LapseOfMind]

Nothing good I would imagine

[PoeticSorcery]

no, probably not lol. I'm a philosopher at heart though, sadly.

[LapseOfMind]

Nothing wrong with that. I think everyone is to some degree or another

[PoeticSorcery]

yeah, that's probably true. except politicians of course lol

[Celie Rose]

Enjoyed reading your poem. I like the imagery. The words and rhythm flow nicely together. Keep up the good work!

[LapseOfMind]

Awesome, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much!

A touch of empty wishes, and a memory of what was once that will never be again. You captured the feeling perfectly. Well done!

Favourite line:

"No wasted moments of twilight
Just time we let intertwine
We're on stage for the witness
Just actors, you and I"

life is what it is these days...and it has lost its luster...we are all on stage for the witness...is this the end?

feels like it is coming close...there is little reflection of love, now...just stone pilots crashing like Japanese zero planes...giving themselves up for death to so many...

perhaps the current happenings in the world had me reading it this way...but i really feel this poem...

all actors...and the show is in its last run.

I'm glad that this poem spoke to you and I enjoyed what you wrote. What I love about poetry is that it is malleable and can mean something different to everyone who reads it. I appreciate you taking the time to read it and leave a comment

This was quite well done. It is one of your best.

[LapseOfMind]

Wow, thank you very much!

[Rasha Bear]

This made me feel like floating through the every day of trying to make something out of nothing and losing the spark that you once had with someone. Really beautiful.

[LapseOfMind]

I appreciate that, thank you. It felt great to write and get out

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

The touching elegance of fragmented words is refreshing in this time of perfection, well done, good read.

[LapseOfMind]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate that
