Reflections
By LauraLME ©
Sudden light
hits the retina of drowsy eyes,
pushing against the darkness of our hearts,
invading blind alleys and hidden bends,
lost in the echoes of useless words
screamed in silence.
Suspended on the wires of time,
between the reflections on this muddy water
of sickening days and scattered hopes,
the thin images of our souls
drenched with rain and tears
compressed by memories.
Little waves of sculptured smiles,
those of a pale, premature moon
looking at us
while we walk…
And yet we are still!
Immobilized,
like shadows sticking up to the heart.
We wander through wild paths
of grudges and regrets
dancing in a virtual circle
of tired words
leading us to the border
with dream and illusion…
Our dream!
Where we once lost ourselves
following photometric lights
on arches bright of colors
and soft of clouds.
Standing still now, we look at that water
ruffled by wind and shadows
without frames without colors,
as we are now:
reflections
only reflections!

I love the flow of your words Laura. They are so smooth. They remind me of my poems but only better. So refined and soft.
Thank you so much for sharing them!
Thank You So much for reading my words… And I have to disagree on something: what comes out from our heart and soul is not meant to be better or worse, I love the rhythm in your poems, I love the way you and only you, as the writer who experienced those emotions, are able to make me feel every single one of them in a way that makes them mine too, universal feeling of sharing words and situations without limits of space or time… You are wonderfully unique and not comparable! Much love and gratitude for your beautiful comments!!!
Beautiful…perfect & magical
dear laura,
maybe this is what we see when we are so pre-occupied with ourselves-the problems at the moment which are affecting us. your poem has demonstrated the danger and the pitfall of making oneself in a cage of hate, pain and suffering. i have seen the value of freedom and going past behind our own selves to see our true light. the real beings that we once were. great poem here.
I’d like to get out of the echo of those useless words in my own life. Nice work!
elegant word flow.
love your style…
you have got talent here, welcome to attend poets rally week 35, where you share your poetry and make new poetic friends…poetry awards are assigned upon completion.
let me know when you are ready.
Merry Christmas…
keep writing…
This is the poetry I aspire to write ~ simply beautiful and flowing. ‘We wander through wild paths of grudges and regrets’ ~ oh yes, through those pathless woods… : ))
