Behind the Shower Curtain Virginia Salter Silhouettes through steamy filtered glass sheathing reflected in the mirror droplets trickling vapor rising billowing the joy of warmth gentle caresses rhythmic dancing entwined in love a serenade figments in her mind those times merely memory a life gone by now only one shadowed image stands behind dingy faded weeping curtain stretched across the shower bar ©April 12, 2000 |

I loved how this flowed, I could see "Silhouettes through steamy filtered glass sheathing reflected in the mirror" and then see how with time all that was left "only one shadowed image stands behind dingy faded weeping curtain stretched across the shower bar" Glad I found this, enjoyed very much.

Cut like crystal, your images were clear to the heart. Placid, and somber, a rewarding read. Coal |

This is very much in sync with the human condition, especially the mind set and contrast we all feel between the times of completeness in unity and the loneliness of loss. 'Tis right on the mark, mi thinks. |
