She Can't Be Touched

She Can't Be Touched

 

Standing naked in the dark

Her windows open wide

Open for all to see

Nothing left to hide

 

Tears…

 

Are they hers or mine?

Looking back as I walk away

She is standing there like a pillar

And I taste the salt

 

She was standing in the boat

Sun hot upon her face

Alone without remorse

Used up all her grace

 

Tears…

 

Not hers this time

Looking back, looking back

Don’t look back

Oh please don’t look back

I shouldn’t have looked back

I have that story guiding many of my thoughts, too. I would lick the salt of my love, too, because I am also as human. I, unlike Lot, would have been a pillar also. I like the way you have incorporated the story for its effects. Nice piece...it makes me think and feel....

Mirrors are made to be broken and the seven unlucky years be damn...but looking back?...not, if you have something more to tell...
Definitive intriguing!

So often, not good to look back...whether over the shoulder...or to the past.

these tears are the release of emotional bondage
even when we look back & they are not looking back at us...
or merely...just to recall with clarity
I see in your new eyes & I think it is good to look over
our shoulder to empower the choices we must face & endure
& also embrace...AWESOME Poem Dayvid

Sometimes you just can't help but look bad...unfortunately, it often hurts very badly. A very emotive piece! ~Elizabeth

Dayvid,

When should we look back or just forge ahead? In this case, the latter rings true. Wonderful poem.

It rarely does any good to look back, unless you're looking for one of life's lesson to stare at you squarely between the eyes. Patrick
