Haunted
She came out of the dark
sinister place of solitude
where silence screams into
a barrel of pain of a woman
haunted by the past.
The dusky morning
filters her scanning
zooming in on images
to snap fainted memories
of him and her
She sifts
the memories as
glass splinters through her mind
Scratching her soul which
is already bleeding from the
loss of intense love.
Until she receives a gift
from an old friend
giving her a new look on life
through his spiritual glasses
creating a smile and softness
on a woman's face,
being touched by the present
...........................and him!
Why be sorry? Nothing to be sorry about.
ReplyDeleteOh and the poem was brilliant!
You write so well!
ReplyDeleteAn 'awakening' for which one sometimes so desperately needs in life...
ReplyDeleteA delightful and reflective poem with equally your own thoughts within the post..
Beautiful poem, Marja.
ReplyDeleteMy cyber stalkers are still out in full force, but I am moving past them.
I am now posting comments on my posts.
Putting a band aid on the world's pain is a good thing and bringing a smile to someone, with your writing is a good place to start.
ReplyDeleteWell done. Very effective.
ReplyDeleteMy gosh Marja, you are good. I hope you are published. Do you have any published work? If you don't get busy, and if you do I would love to purchase it. What a treat. Thanks!

Wow, that hardly feels rushed at all. I wish I could write poetry like that on the fly. That was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteShe sifts the memories as
glass splinters through her mind

This left me haunted
amazingly written..
Looking back is the worst sort of haunt. Picture and words really work together. And you "rushed" this? It feels mature and complete as it stands.
ReplyDeleteSome lovely images in here!

ReplyDeletethis world can use all the plasters for the pain and as many kisses as you can muster!
ReplyDeleteMarja Marja! That was rushed? And you are apologising for it? It was GREAT!
ReplyDeleteSuch beauty, Marja. You make even the haunted a treasure to behold. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, indeed! You definitely have a gift to put something so thought-provoking out with so little effort. Beautifully written :o)
ReplyDeleteI too made a half hearted attempt.
ReplyDeleteI do like your hurried effort.
No need for apologies for this wonderful poem!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could 'rush' half so well!
ReplyDeleteit didn't feel rushed at all! beautifully written.
ReplyDeleteThe only rush that appears in this poem is the one I got from reading it. The image is absolutely beautiful, too!
