Darkened windows
No one home
Apartment floor
Swept clean
Still dust in long lines
Not quite parallel
Round cracked floor boards
Hanging above
Lifeless
Cobweb marrionettes
Senseless sway

Shadows do not fall
Here anymore
In interior space
Singed around the edges
Old glass frames
Multilayered paint on paint
Millefeuilles
Kaleidoscopic rings
Each year recording
Strata of your moods
And mine
Fossil Rainbows
Of those who let this place
Before

Vacant of curtains
Sun bleached in ultraviolet
Crumble draining
All the colors
Fading Away
Blanched like us
All that remains
Tattered fabric
Bone and stone
Quiet acid of dripping time
And memories
That disappear

An excellent yet bitterly sad word painting here H. I love it and it depresses me at the same time. To me being moved this way is always a sign of brilliant writing.

Picturing an empty cobweb.
Dew sprinkled
empty cupboards -
no wrapped morsels
drying as the sun comes up
Glinting the dew crystals
into gems of brilliance -
A sight to still the hunger
as the seeker drinks in
a beauty only gentle emptiness can create.

Nicely done, slow.

chest stops its expansion
not wanting to disturb the air
a voyeur of time stood still
rich in memory
in melancholy
in joyful laughter too ... once
the exuberance of youth ... once
but not now
now stale and musty
in its neglected decay
and forgotten hope
chest remains still
in reverence
in morbid curiosity
Is that a strand of hope
tucked amid the filmy webs
waiting for new lungs?



:heart: absolutely beautiful s1ow ... it sent my brain off ... somewhere ...

a walk in the cemetery,
appreciating the solitude,
a sadness yes,
calm and wistful on a dreary afternoon,
exhausted souls,
rest here,
amid the walking living,
who wonder wistfully,
showing the fallen,
they still dream....

Did you look under the covers?


Of darkness.


Did you listen for a sound?


Of silence.


Did you smell the scent?


Of memory.


I am here..never far away...and Home is ALWAYS where the wild heart dares roam.

Misguided wanderer
Landed at my door
The place of reminiscences
I remember too

Impetuous meetings
Eagerness
Disappointment
Disillusionment

Welcome to
The Hall of Dust
The Exhibits moved on
Stolen by

The New Venue
Repolished
Shining
Somewhere
They delight all the museum visitors
The tourists
Chancing upon a little
Corner of artistic obscurity
If only more
Knew of this place
