Not To Cry



Enamel dreams
  whispers in subtle tones
    carrying self interest
      in a ceramic glass
        combining
  ~gin and water~

Sophistication
    of life dissolves
    as the plastic spoon
    mixes the relieving potion.

Circulation like a tornado
  severing past remembrances
    to create a picture frame
    that I can smash into the wall
    and solemnly hide beneath the remains.


Just when I thought I could walk alone
  it drizzled..
  tender sapphire touch
  escaping from my closed eyes
  interrogating memories
cleansing and de-cleansing
  but nothing really helps the truth.

As I fall into the surveying caress
  all I feel is a heartless touch
    slipping beneath my fingers
      slippery and wet
    but still not bearing any emotion.

Prompt; Drizzle

Drizzle here, is a mild cry that ceases but leaves a person unsure of what happens next..it may rain or it may be sunny! You never know!

    Your imagery is amazing. I like your thought on drizzle, and the unknowing of what that drizzle will lead to. Enjoyed. Thanks so much for your entry
