Space to call my own { Gold }

Candles dance in flickered flames,

burning aubergine,

reflection back painful illusions,

for everything is fake.

 

Cardboard cut out,

silhouette blackens a mood.

 

Emerald envy greed's the green,

eyes that shard,

splicing opened old wounds.

 

I need time,

space to call my own,

freedom from a closet,

that is always closing in.

    I love the depth of the imagery here, 'Cardboard cut out' before 'silhouette blackens a mood' just adds so much more to it. I don't know how you keep doing it again and again, swap muses? An excellen write hun, good luck in your contest
