Vanity
with starry eyes and whispers, "I love you"
A score and one years when she steps inside,
and anxious to touch the blonde locks
If only she knew how cruel is the glass -
suns shall rise and moons shall pass
a hundred times faster in her world, while here
as she makes love to herself
Before she goes, she takes one more glance
at the lady she loves to see pose and dance
and the smile upon the face that she sees
could not possibly come from her own
She steps from the reflective glass to find
dust in her chamber that wasn't there before
The feeling of years that have stormed in mere moments
make her stumble onto the floor
Upon her hand, blue and brown
below the yellow sleeve of time tattered gown
that once was the white dress of a beautiful virgin lass
before time slipped away inside of the glass

Post a CommentWOW..you have such a beautiful style with your writing!..I hate that I haven't read this earlier!
What an excellent, beautiful read.
Heather...thank you so much. It does have a lot to do with getting older but more along the lines of one who is too wrapped up with their own self love and letting time get away. I appreciate the read!
