Those icy hands,
Holding the tears of life,
How long will the midnight last?

Like the bird in cage,
She watch the life played on her.

Concealing the flaws,
She pretend;
The perfect daughter.

Carving her pain in pages,
She dreamt the beautiful life.

Walking through the crowd,
She lost;
Living her name.

She don’t know what she is,
She was just a shadow.

She turn herself cold,
To prove;
She is tough.

But how can she not wish,
The desires she had?
“The weight of silence, the ache of pretending, and the small, stubborn hopes that still live inside.“
Dreams of Sepia Sep 2015
Carrot dances in a sweat
an onion laments it's death
potato sings the potato blues
the parsley is dreaming
of some tea for two
the cabbage is tired
of the baggage
it's lovers bring with them
& remembers the knife
cutting through it
the stock cube
listens to the chatter
of the bubbles
rising through the ***
& the salt & pepper
are feeling a bit hot
I have another poem about soup which is probably even more quirky & far better than this - it's called Tomato Soup if you want to look it up.
It's here: http://hellopoetry.com/poem/1353298/tomato-soup/
