With Crystal Company



She lived her life
within the confines
of crocheted doilies
and polished mahogany


her crystal company
would ring regularly
in her ear...
but the conversations
that echoed loudest,
and longest
were the ones she had with the
unheard narrator


while he ate away
inside her head
and stole
all she ever knew

You my friend are one fine poet.

This poem will linger with me for a bit.

It is so true Sasha. There is a voice
inside of all of us that is seldom
quiet and seems to have a mind all
its own.

So very well done!

thanks,
andy

~ oh I hear ya on the inner voice, Andz...can sometimes get me in trouble, too..lol

however, this piece is about an elderly lady with Alzheimers
such a haunting vision that sprang from a tag line and I just had to try and capture it

thank you so much for reading this one

*warm kiwi hugs*

Sash xx

I'm speechless, Sash (you do this effect on me quite often), it's so beautifully layed besides the bitterness.
Thanks for this share.

For some reason I got the distinct impression and vision of someone who is suffering with Alzheimer's. The way things just disappear from the mind for intervals and sometimes never return.

Either chord you strike in this...it's awesomely done!

I suppose it's the way the reader interprets the voice..and for me, it brought me to that place of watching elders in my own family slip away slowly.

Big hugs,
Tammy

~ Tamz girl, you hit the nail on the head!

that is exactly what it's about...
I'm glad that you enjoyed this capture..
it is so sad to watch them slip away, lose their independence...
thank you for reading this one...and thank you for You!

*hugs*

This came across as some one held prisoner by a voice that constantly underminds and one day destory. so well executed by the pen
