Dark Glasses
Virginia Salter

eyes
windows
to the soul
they say
that’s why
I’m here
in these dark glasses

for
then
only I
inside
looking out
through
tear-stained lenses

can know
can see
in their reflection
what you’ve done
to me
with your words
your hands
. . .and then

your absence

Oh,yes.....
This one is powerful, VAS, and subtle, and I loved every single line. I've found myself with dark glasses a few times, too...


Live...Love...Be grateful for both!!

VAS - My glasses are also dark, darker than I would like, as they do hide the tears.

I too wear these dark glasses at night.

I answer inquiring minds with "I love to see the world through ruby red" (and they are oh so dark red). And that really is the truth. Only not all of it, not by far.

my compliments
