Yep...that would be me...years ago! The other half of this picture is the poem.


Poem Artwork

It's raining here off and on so I'm going through old writes. This one is about a photograph I found and I'd torn off the part of a person I'd chosen to condition. Although we play games like this to forget the past... we always remember the visual.

SKdeV


Mirror images and light
Refractions of a minute
Dated portrait inset
Pains are merely hinted
Fine line of a feather
Brushed with artists hand
Justifying moments
Hourglass in sands
Shadows in a mirror
Etched in time's array
Severed image photo
Seclusion in the grays
This woman like a rose in time
Rosy cheeks a glow
Breathing in this moment
Another breath she glows
Aloof and charming angel
Rose of Cardinal red
Visions of a dreamer
Love is tender fed
Careful is this image
Always looking back
Intelligence of wisdom
With mirror imaged tact.

Great retro piece. Hindsight is always 20-20.

I'm sure that picture of one so full of hope is still there. Your poems reflect that aspect of you.

Tremendous Title Belle! The application of your imagery seems almost insouciant, but it works well in context to the gist as snippets of old memories, or how the mind oftentimes remembers in flashes and bits. Exceptional ...

Well done Susan. The past may be gone but it is never forgotten.

An excellent piece Susan
we can no longer reach for the past
Or is the future tangible
Now we must grin and bear
Live one day at a time,
still I love reminiscing
Peace & Love be with you

What reflects
Shouldn't be hard to detect
What glows
Everybody knows
In this poem it shows.
Beautifully done

Vintage
Great title and closing 5 lines.
