Array ( [sid] => 73628 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Photograph [time] => 2004-11-29 17:05:33 [hometext] => Today wasn't a good day to look at pictures... [bodytext] => There you sit,
Behind dusty glass,
And tattered frame…
Gleaming smile,
It feels like forever since I’ve seen that smile…
That face lit up with happiness…
The scenery is blurred,
You’re the only thing in focus…
Beautiful, mysterious, radiant splendor…
A moment caught with a hasty click…
Memories kept forever,
Beneath the crystal wall…
A babies first steps,
My 10th birthday,
The great family reunion…
Flipping through pages upon pages,
Of my innocent childhood…
The Monster stares up at me,
Eyes twinkling with pride,
As HE held me close,
Cheek to cheek…
Face sullen, amber eyes filled with hidden anguish,
Desperately wanting to reveal the secret…
Show everyone what my father really was…
Emotions never shown,
Words left unsaid,
Screams left neglected…
A photograph is said to capture everything…
All that it has captured,
Is a girl with a happy mask, and solemn eyes…
Never the essence within,
Never the pain inside,
Never the frozen sorrow that melts down pallid cheeks…
All invisible to the naked eye…
I considered myself beautiful then,
A healthy glow, glimmering eyes, broad smile…
As I delved deeper into the “Family” album,
I smiled less, my eyes became dead,
And I, once so lovely,
Had wilted into nothing…

Very powerful poem.
Brought the tears flowing for a child with so much pain inside.
A victim full of innocence FleurdeSang

I considered myself beautiful then,
A healthy glow, glimmering eyes, broad smile…
As I delved deeper into the 'Family” album,
I smiled less, my eyes became dead,
And I, once so lovely,
Had wilted into nothing…

Beautiful creative talents and abilities.
May your smile return and your eyes shine
Universal rose so lovely so pure
When wilted petals surface scatter them in the wind
Be free

A heartfelt yet beautiful poem

Love Sweetangelukxxx
