Ribbons of Sadness

, Aurora, CO

Ribbons of sadness
Broken glass
A smile
A kiss
A whisper of love
Mean nothing.
Nothing at all.
Shattered dreams
Broken hearts
Stolen souls
Lost and never found.

Who sees upon that pretty face
A person who feels the pain?
Who sees within those big eyes
The sorrow that the world can bring?

Dew drops
Sweet honeysuckle
A caressing breeze blows by.
Forgotten
Alone
A single leaf
Flutters down to the ground
Without a whisper
Without a sound
Without a tear.

This was utterly amazing, I loved the title and the way you put so much meaning into every word. I can't wait to read more of your work.

This is really good! I like how you spaced it a lot. I like your title a lot, it's what made me want to read this poem. My favorite part that you wrote was "A whisper of love mean nothing. Nothing at all. Shattered drams broken hearts stolen souls lost and never found."

I agree with healing_angel. Once you think about it, no one really looks past a mask. rarely do you find people with enough heart to do this. I enjoyed the poem. great work.

I like the reference to seeing beyond the mask. It makes you wonder how many people take the time to do it. This is well written. I like it.
