Ivy

~~ Ivy ~~

Shards, fractions
Of childhood warmth,
Now shrink like tides
Down the ancient wall,
Leaving trinkles of scarlet youth,
Superficial,
Empty,
Alone.

Still the ivy clung stubbornly,
As the years peeled off its home.

A touch, a whisper,
I close my eyes,
will the memories to drift
as threads of my tenuous lies
I weaved upon the ivy crawling up the wall,
Tenacious
but
Breaking
Inside.

Still I clung stubbornly,
Burying the truth with fantasized lies.

Flashes, glimpse
of that faded euphoria,
within circles and curves
and circles of ivy orbs,
days and nights I stared
into their reflective depths,
and wonder
if my name is part
of your final words.

The tears suddenly broke the dam
of carefully constructed smile,
The trails of wetness
clung to my face,
Like truth,
Like ivy,
Like life.

Your voice still echoed like long ago
among the lush green ivy,
but...
my silent years of waiting
you will never ever hear.
