Never Here nor There

by Elizabeth Ann   Jul 16, 2005


My eyes set in stone; livid with this dry wall so their mystery crumbles.
Peppered emotion rusts my playful need
Turquoise masks my lament as gray ever let me down.
Disregard this shameful tide, realizing my sensitive torrent.

Blatant…angry for this register I confess.
A mirror on the wall yet not mine, severed from his shadow.
Stagnant repercussions, you take me for granted.
You always let me down.

What would you do with my sadness great mother, who would I turn to wise father?
Married to this noble nay inherited my smile, where have I heard this all before?
Youth…how old until my wisdom?
Slaying dreams for prosperity and luxury for true wealth
Who loves and who takes, who’s victim and when the villain?

I am my own, never here nor there.
Solemn…you’ll leave as always with my silence.

    I admire your writing so much full of intrigue leaves me thinking. I’m rather over analytical so I adore your poems.
