The Black & White Photograph
The pict...Day 5:<br /><br />The Black & White Photograph<br /><br />The picture with the burnt edges.<br />The one in black and white, <br />When we were sitting in the golden light.<br />I miss you.<br /><br />We were on the swing,<br />Just you and me.<br />Frozen in action,<br />You pushing me.<br />I miss you.<br /><br />A smile creasing my lips,<br />Your laugh echoing in silence.<br />Cause a photograph can’t catch your sound.<br />And a photograph can’t keep you here with me.<br />I miss you.<br /><br />My hair was in the wind,<br />As I swayed through the air.<br />Click.<br />It’s in my memory forever,<br />Or, at least in my photo album. <br />I miss you.<br /><br />The trees around us,<br />The grass so lush.<br />I can tell, <br />Even though the picture shows no color.<br />Cause I remember.<br />Yeah, I remember all the painful memories.<br />And I miss you.<br /><br />I crease my finger around the frame.<br />Wish I hadn’t burnt the edges,<br />But it’s all the same.<br />I still miss you.<br />I still miss you in all the same ways.<br /><br />The world in sepia,<br />The photo in black and white.<br />The color has faded<br />Since you left me here.<br />But you’ll be back.<br />And until that day comes, <br />I’ll be here.<br />I’ll have this picture in a frame,<br />And I’ll keep those memories in my head.<br />I miss you.<br />I’ll always miss you.Gracianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838872913238604793.post-85610904501219140152010-04-05T21:33:41.722-05:002010-04-05T21:33:41.722-05:00I haven't been following most of the prompts b...I haven't been following most of the prompts because that is just something I don't do. Oh, well, here are my latest.<br /><br />The Collision of Seasons (Day 2) <br /><br />My heart beats<br />In the stillness.<br />Thump, thump.<br />My iced feet<br />Walk on air,<br />Walk on the frosty ground.<br />My words speak<br />Silence into the dusk,<br />Into the sunrise.<br />The sun is coming up,<br />It is going down.<br />I feel the heat<br />Across my back.<br />I feel the chill<br />Across my chest.<br />The lush flowers, <br />The dead grass<br />All remind me <br />Of my hidden past.<br />My white dress<br />And long black pants,<br />I wear them both,<br />Cause I couldn’t decide.<br />The rain it pours,<br />The ground is dry.<br />The snow is light,<br />The air is heavy.<br />The trees blossom,<br />The gardens rot.<br />I am here.<br />I am breathing,<br />No matter the season,<br />Or time of day.<br />It all fades away.<br />I am connected.<br />I am seeking.<br />No matter the reason.<br />I could care less for this gibberish.<br />Just let me be<br />Where I am inside.<br />Just let me be<br />Who I am tonight. <br /><br />Reflection: June 7, 2009 (Day 3)<br /><br />Took a breath.<br />Just one more step.<br />Pulled myself together.<br />This is the chance I’d been waiting for.<br />Our eyes met.<br />We embraced.<br />My heart of ice.<br />A smile on my face.<br />Your soul of stone.<br />A grin pasted to your cheek. <br />I was so happy to be with you.<br />I so regret being someone else.<br />Couldn’t read your face.<br />Didn’t know your heart.<br />But you knew.<br />You knew I was different.<br />I am different.<br />I changed.<br />I changed for you.Gracianoreply@blogger.com
