Listening to the world go by,
Knowing what time, it is,
As parents take their children to school,
Excited about their day ahead,
...
Please don't try to change me,
Look inside, please tell me what you see,
I'm a woman that's complicated
Pure in heart, loving and spiritually true,
...
I'm the girl on the inside,
A precious gem kept classified,
Hidden deep inside the veil,
That gentle soul no longer shows,
...
Oily, gleaming mirrors on tarmac,
Tyres causing greasy bubbles,
Birds dancing in natures baths,
Trees stretching out to catch the moisture,
...
One day my heart will stop crying,
My head full of memories, hurting
Each day I am healing,
Raining tears in my thunderstorm,
...
I am very much a learner in poetry, but I have a passion for the world of words. My life revolves around writing and books, my oxygen. After spending 24 years in Retail Management, unfortunately being diagnosed with MS, I am now retired. Every cloud has a silver lining, mines is now being able to write my novel and delve into the world of poetry.)
Invisible Behind The Curtain
Listening to the world go by,
Knowing what time, it is,
As parents take their children to school,
Excited about their day ahead,
I know they're all there,
Do they know I am here?
Would they care,
Invisible behind the curtain,
Recognising some voices,
Imagining their stories,
Some I have given names,
Now characters on paper,
They share more each day,
Do they know I'm here?
Would they care,
Invisible behind the curtain
Sharing their laughter,
Exciting news announced,
An ear to all their secrets,
Lovers sharing too much,
I hide under the covers,
Do they know I'm here?
Would they care,
Invisible behind the curtain
Beautiful singing on a Saturday night,
Seagulls squawking 24/7,
All lucky to be alive,
Wives moaning about husbands,
Husbands moaning about wives,
Do they know I'm here?
Would they care,
How many are invisible behind curtains?
