POEM: Tears of Reflection
This was written to the art below, by Svenja Jodicke, titled “Lost in Memories,”
and featured on this week’s CPC Simple Sunday Picture challenge.
TEARS OF REFLECTION
Too many parties at too high a cost.
too many flatteries where virtue lost.
Dressed up for another, makeup on,
memories of past loves come and gone.
Tears well up in windows on her world,
mix with rainbow shadows like flags unfurled.
She sees her life melt on her, in the mirror
Bright colors meant to decorate, not stain her.
One melancholy moment locked in time
thanks to artist’s spatial skill sublime.
Time warp from the Seventies, some might say.
Dripping pains may water growth some brand new day.
