Wizard A life built on lies

Black draped windows block out the light
of days that go unknown
while slipping past in memory
are years she's spent alone

A pause in flight to brighter times
brings muffled sounds of tears
that brings the pain much to close
the only thing she fears

A waking dream is how she lives
the truth she just denies
and dwells on things that might have been
her life is built on lies


"draped, slipping, pause, muffled, waking, denies, dwells"

    Absolutely beautiful poem, Linda, as sad as it may be. Nice flow, great meter, terrific rhyme. And I love the sad and solemn story it tells so well. One minor suggestion - I think the "to" in line 7 should be "too". Thanks for sharing this beauty with us. Joe

    A nicely written poem. Your chosen words blend in well with the rest of the content. I haven't seen much of you on this site lately. I hope you are well these days.

    sadness feels for every line, each word that speaks to us, some shut away, life n time, until pass away...they must....
