clean floors
waxed and waiting
for blemishes to appear

imprints following paths
wandered to idle
backdoor hallways

where i find you
among the cardboard boxes
waiting to be recycled

a nicotine fix
and a devil's grin
when you ain't so ready
to by my windows
looking for light

a turbine engine on overload
running down empty aisles
to blemish the skin
of a memory
walking this way

too easily cleaned
on shiny checkerboard floors

Welcome to Passions.
Great job on this poem.
It has a great flow.  Nice job.

Welcome to the Dark Side of Passions.
I hope you enjoy yourself.

this is very very good,course i have an undue fondness for checkerboard floors which seems to stem from multiple readings of Through the Looking Glass...lol..but really this is well written,i love the image that i got out of it,the image of someone sitting among cardboard boxes awaiting being thrown out with the trash or recycled...great read!!

Nice peom.  Held a new yet different meaning to me.  Liked the style as well  

In life things come and go. Live and die. Prosper and fall. But our love and poetry will always carry on.

I really liked this poem. I hope to see you post more in the future.
The poem you wrote just now really hit me..right here *points*...It was really well written. Hope to see more.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
