Praying

The broken frame;
clings to edge of the wall.
Gripping...
praying for more time.
Like my silhouette-
etched in charcoal
across the bed.
Holding your photograph
like a lie-detector.
Blinding deceit
a ghost searching for light,
running from the gates.

Hi Beeme,

there was something quite mysterious about this poem,
almost haunting.

Very nice read.

Jenny.

excellent piece of writing, as has already been said - "haunting".

Namaste,
