Void

 Mirror

Reflection facing me

warts and all

seeing some more than others

knowing its slanted, coloured by life

twisted almost

the hurt and pain, smothered in time and distance

of thought and reason

hand waves

no response in return

smile

nothing in reply

love

desert in return

deserted, displaced

a stave, misplaced, discordant

words unmatched to eyes

cold covers warmth 

arctic winds whip around pulling at hope

casting it to the void
