Somewhere... out there...

Vacancy

Reflections in the bottle full
bone china and
a touch of brass -
remnants of a former self
before the black and white of now
this life I barely breathe today
In disarray
I've made this bed of
corners tucked within the mind
I've left behind the 'me' of me
in search of something
lacking still
This void within,
filled from without
embracing all that's in surround
yet mirrored in the bottle now...

this vacancy of me

~Vicky L. Raynes

Some poems just need to see
the open blue again...
