Distance....
By Spiritus_Frumenti
Every now and then,
The joyful laughter of playing children
Echoes through the walls,
Lingering within the paint,
A constant reminder
Of a far more distant childhood
-
Every so often, winds,
Holding a ravel of hair, insisting,
To permeate through decadence
And the reasons why nothing is here
-
But alone in my despair,
In these enclosures of buried engravings
Lost words and painful memories
Lying beyond experiences of the world,
In many ways I cease to be alive
When my mind only envisions
And my eyes can only drift beside...

Hahahahaha "what could hide behind these whitewashed walls, the joy of laughter or the shedding of tears..." I enjoyed this immensely, held a sense of my self inside it. Glorious
