Nothing Touches Her

by Hear You Me   Jul 16, 2009


Dry smooth silver satin dances
along stained dirty streets,

twinkling, spinning stilletoes on cobbles
where above grey skies weep.

Still, a radiant smile is worn
regardless of fear and scorn,
golden syrup curls shine and whirl,
they bounce...

But in another world

a crumpled tear stained sleeve
smears remnants of yesterdays tears.
Hurt forbidden from friends,
almost hidden from herself,
yet she is so strong
in a place that is very real
and so, so cruel.

But a watery smile creases her
withered green eyes,
this is reality...
and nothing touches her,
because we can't let it.

    I am so deeply impressed by this poem!
    The only thing that bothered me was the fact that every line started with a cap. If you were to change that, the poem would be perfect.
    What imagery you used here....so outstanding and touching!

    this evokes so much sympathy in the readers mind..how she is strong and hiding her tears, so moving..

    I give you a five out of five for this gem and my weekly vote, dear girl.

    Take care and keep writing,
