self portrait
.
[ s m o k e a n d m i r r o r s ]
let the darkness play on
silence dancing in my head
shadowy images fill my eyes
of things that never were
whispering their lies
enticing me to believe
happiness held just out of reach
swirling, taunting, teasing
the last hopeful breath released
the stuttered inhale of sadness
you were a simple trick of my mind
a dream that blew away

Interesting to see a very different side to you Jen, powerful emotional words to go with an image full of fragility!

Hey Cupcake..Chin up and anticipate things meant to be. Sometimes things don’t seem to make any sense at all, and before you know it, it all comes together for you. Take it from someone who felt dead, but is now so very much alive.
Hugs my friend
Jen Cannella replied
Hiya Hank!
No need to worry about me, I am as happy and crazy as ever.
For some reason all my writings seem to have a dark, dismal feel to them.
Me though…always, always laughing!! : )
I am really glead that you are doing well. It’s very nice to hear from you, my friend. : )
Jen Cannella replied
that was glad not glead. I don’t even know what glead means = /
Hank Rodriguez
Glead : Var. of gleed [gliːd]
noun.
Archaic or dialect : a burning ember or hot coal.
I guess you are burning like hot coal knowing that I am doing well, Jen.
Hank Rodriguez
Glad you are happy and crazy and all is right with the world. When do we get to see some more creative works? You busy or sumpin’?
