The lady vanishes


Recommended Posts

Posted

There's a gap on my shelf.


It wasn't there before.


The book of my future
lays ripped on the floor.

 

Each chapter started brightly.
The characters gel
Become fully rounded
My hopes start to swell.

But I can't turn the page!
It's kinda stuck!
Avalanche on the track
Derailed love, joy and luck.

The sentence runs over
And bleeds off the page
But fingers just fumble
Tears hinder my gaze.

Deny the frustration
No dreaming allowed
A heroine vanished
Ego and shelf
Both slightly bowed.
