- what did she look like before she jumped? (a step into the dark side.)-


Poem Artwork


An indigo linen dress
was not all she was wearing;
she also had
hope in her heart and
held a lighthearted smile
that brightened her face.

She knew how to look happy,
but one could see a hint of irony
mixed with a second of doubt
cross her powdered eyelids.

She was sitting next to him,
but, night after night,
she had practiced
opening the narrow cage
because she knew it couldn't last.

She laughed with him,
she even told a joke
and, for a while, I think,
she let herself believe
that nothing had changed.

She sipped her Sancerre
focusing on the moment,
resting her quiet hands
on the edge of her present life.

On a wicked windy day,
the future would summon her
waiting for her to jump
from those cliffs, where she stood.

Until then,
she had just another song to sing,
smiling,
sometimes shaking,
just pretending
that nothing had changed.

Beautiful poem!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

Reviewed on November 4, 2007

Outstanding depicting of a suicide's wish... "In The Wind (1)" delivers a psychoanalytic case history to strike the freudian minds.

"In The Wind (1)" is a poetic task duly accomplished in art and knowledge.

In admiration,

Read these out of order but in a way maybe that was good for I think this one is better and you should keep it as is...it does not seem so sinister and sad as the other.
