Illusions of Grandeur

Words for Those Who Have Loved and Lost

Josh Phillips
Valentines and Birthday cards
scattered across the floor,
a mosaic of memories lost
in a flood of hundreds more.

Picture frames, tattered albums
displayed around the room,
reminders of young lovers
disenchanted all too soon.

Tear stained pillows, tangled sheets
heaped there upon the bed,
mirrors of tormented dreams
of all things left unsaid.
