Mirrors Cracked

Neville

Mirrors Cracked

 

Talk about damaged

I’ve known mirrors cracked

Less broken

 

Talk about needy

I have nothing more to give

So let’s talk about nothing

 

Talk about angry

I can listen without limit

But drugs are not the answer

 

Talk about forgiving

I think it’s far too late for that

So why not take up knitting

 

Talk about teasing

I call it lying

But you hide it well

 

Talk about damaged

I’ve known mirrors cracked

Less broken

 

Talk about whatever

Tis well known but rarely spoken

I’m getting out of here

 

Talk about what’s missing

Go get some sleep

I just gone fishing

      A fine write N. I'm not saying I'm ugly, but I've had a million years bad luck it seems. Well, I will keep looking in the mirror. Each time it cracks and it adds 7 years bad luck. Doh!
      I might be handsome?! heehee.

      • Neville

        thank you orchidee, another much appreciated visitation... oh' and dont be so hard on thy self, these things happen........... Neville

      • dusk arising

        Bits of this and that remain, glances at mirrors recall a lurking 'why?'. A piece of crockery, a salt cellar, happy days in St Ives... a hope worn out,... yesterdays tomorrows denied.
        For me they are all there in your writing today.

        • Neville

          all it takes is a couple of words to trigger such memories, both good and maybe not so good...thank you my friend for your much appreciated visit and reasoned response, which if I may add, is a little poem in its own write..... Neville

        • Poetic Dan

              They ask, but don't listen
              Or
              What good is talking, if no one is listening
              Or
              Silence is golden
              Or
              Keep your thoughts to yourself
              Or
              Say it like you have

              • Neville

                Thanks Suresh and true, you are most kind and always appreciated...

                Neville

              • Doggerel Dave

                Got It...and no, I'm not gonna ask - I see too many bits of my own life and relationships in there to want to take on any of yours.
                Thanks for that, Neville.
