MY PLACE – POETRY , AFFIRMATIONS & MORE

Quick glance back and there I saw you

gazing eyes piercing my soul

rimmed red , exhausted and tired

holding many stories never once told

~

I stood there I paused and I wondered

if those specs really suited your face

your eyes I can see yet they seem far away

those glasses too big, outta place

~

The calmness of your soft lined smile

housing the love you gave through the years

have also held pain

and lessons you gained

 hidden lines to shroud secret tears

~

I kept staring as I remembered my childhood

Mommy who do I look like the most?

you always shrugged and said

girl I just simply don’t know

but now my eyes reflect your warm ghost

~

Staring back from my new pink rimmed covers

I see the eyes I have loved for so long

Same eyes in a different reflection

Letting me know you’ve been here all along
