The sweet smell of the sea teases my nose
as I pose in the framed picture of life.
Doesn’t it look beautiful?
The angered waves crash against rocks
and the sound dances in my ears
while I touch this soft metal
shaped into something that should resemble
order.
My bare back begins to quiver and cry
from the fingers of the waves
as I stand up to my hips in this ocean
and I am alone
Although there are people walking by
on the beach
and there is a man watching me
who claims he loves me.
He sees my long, brown tresses
and my beautiful lilac gown
that makes my skin look like winter.
But what does he see?
I’m trying to picture
what this frame is supposed to look like.
What they all want it to be.
Am I doing it right?
Author notes
I found this picture absolutely striking; thank you for picking it =].
Now, I hope that something came out of this.
I not only took the picture into consideration, but also the authors notes as well... I believe that he/she has the true idea of what the picture is supposed to be, so I thought it would help me grasp what I'm really supposed to feel.
Thank you =D
