The flakes swarm to kiss the unveiled neck.
Then, they vanish, like she, whose tears have yet to
dry on my shoulder. Looking at life in retrospect,
I conclude that I’ve lost more than I meant to.

Tired hands pull the curtains to hide a cloud
that has shaded the sun and made the world gray.
In the absence of others, one begins to doubt
one’s own existence. The mirrors reflect dismay.

Afraid of the mournful eye, the mirrors shatter
and twisted images scatter around the room.
Like a moth seeking light, I continue to flutter
around sharp visions, alone, in gloom.

Nicely done here.....I liked this one but not as much as the others. Still, this is better than I could have ever come up with!



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

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Whoa! This one is deep. I love the transition from a view of the outside world down to the inside world. This one is quite surreal. Good job. Interesting rhyme scheme as well.
