in the shadows

.


...chill stainless slick memories of youth,

the sordid shreds of sentiment's prayers

sifted through pathos of wistful blindness

shrouded by love's listless longing for lies,

woven from life's petty wanton denials,

reflected brittle beauty of heart's sad desires;

endlessly echoing mindless contempt....

word candy and heart sounds

sordid shreds of sentiment's
love's listless longing
brittle beauty
endlessly echoing

passing shadows

The all of this is touching and so full of truths but this

"shrouded by love's listless longing for lies,"

absolute pefection.

Your words often move me.

if broken dreams are all one knows
then, one will expect very little of life and the upside is...all things are wondrous in their eyes....

very descriptive, and well done
