Reflected lights, window shade night,
In a room by the street side cafe.
Sounds that are heard, mumbling of words,
All alone of which he stays.

Awakened of sounds, noises all around,
a city that never sleeps.
A full moon it shines, on the window shade blinds,
This city has stolen his dreams.

With a silhouette in view, outlined in blue,
and highlights of purplish bright.
This image of a face, a woman's it does trace,
on the glass within the night.

Moments pass by, as your eyes will find,
serenity asleep in peace.
With a face on the glass, and the noises that pass,
atlas late at night you sleep.

You hit me hard again
The circles around my eyes
Grow darker
Matching the changing of your soul
The gray that now transforms the sky
Into a lead inferno this night
Moves slowly
Reconfiguring as your soul slowly blackens
Turning away from the light
Towards the eternal wakeless night
Your hatred starts to rumble
Thunder’s cacophony a constant companion
To your explosive hatred
And the demon that controls you
You hit me hard again
No tears I have left
No pain
No thoughts
Just sorrow that you have succumbed
To the neon shadows

Gazing on the world without a care
Wishing all mistakes away

Leaving all the yesterdays out there
Will it matter at all today

Wishing all mistakes away
Thoughts seem clouded like this dawn

Will it matter at all today
Summing it up in a yawn

Thoughts seem clouded like this dawn
Will confusion disappear?

Summing it up in a yawn
Take an eraser to the fear

The sun has yet to rise in the sky
Gazing on the world without a care

Blink out the sleep, yet wonder why
Gazing on the world without a care

Mother may I see the light?
Mother may I find my way...
out of all this despair and grief?
Mother may I lend a hand to the blind?

Mother may I become who you want me to?
Mother may I trust those I don't know...
even if they are like strangers?
Mother may I stumble backwards, when forward is not good enough for you?

Mother may I keep my secrets to myself?
Mother may I feel unashamed about...
growing up dumb with all these windows around?
Mother may I speak in tongues...as they say only to shout to yourself?

Mother may I find the time...when there really is none?
Mother may I dance to the elegant swans...
just like in the Russian Ballet?
Mother may I pray to those who see no sun?

Neon signs are flashing
in between the blinds
sending to him signals
a meeting of their minds.

Waiting there each evening
hoping he'll come back home
but the neon signs keep flashing
while her lover continues to roam.

She watched him from the window
when he left that rainy night
he turned to see her silhouette
flashing shadows of neon light.

Lost without him by her side
a thread of hope still in her heart
her silhouette in the window waits
he said forever they'd never part.

Each night before she goes to sleep
one last pass of the neon blinds
for if he's out there watching
they'll have a meeting of their minds.

He'll see that she has faith in him
when he no longer needs to roam
her silhouette in the neon lights
still waits to welcome him home.
Daisy©

Alone she stares, silent
In madness and despair
Thinking of burned bridges
She no longer can repair

Thoughts soon turn to images
Played over in her mind
And yet unwilling to repent
Her prideful heart unkind

Oh! How I hate my life!
She bellows out in pain
Bitter tears flow freely now
From eyes, but all in vain

These tears are cold, and fall upon
Flesh that's numb and dead
A testimony of the life
This tragic woman led
solo-flight©

I'm just a slave to fashion,
And every fad that comes along.
Everybody's doing it,
So I know it can't be wrong.

The tattoo placed upon my skin,
Six holes in my left ear,
I sure hope they're still in style,
This same time next year.

If the color of your eyelids,
Matches the fish tank goo,
If everybody's face is blue, 
Be assured that mine is too.

A little paint, a little dye,
Color-change contacts in my eye;
Skirts are long, skirts are high,
But mine is not to question why.

I line my lips in black or white,
Red or green or neon light;
Then I find to my delight,
Mascara and rouge that match just right.

All colors of the rainbow,
My hair is permed and crimped.
I keep it curled and sprayed and teased,
'Til fashion says, just leave it limp.

No matter what the fashion,
I don't dare deviate.
Why is it then that I find,
The thing I truly hate;

What really makes me angry.
The thing I most detest,
Is hearing someone say to me,
"You're just like all the rest."

porcelain lady
fired and glazed
so sad, forlorn,
troubled and fazed

i see you hiding
behind closed blinds.
is it lost love, shame
or just life's grinds

your model. was she
a troubled soul?
did your creator
try to console

you stand in profile,
a Grecian nose
a jutting chin
your lips, quick-froze

you are further proof
that to beguile
you really don't need
Mona Lisa's smile
b.eniii©

Reflections cast upon darkened silhouette
Hidden from view of the outside world
Highlighting the shadow of this sultry brunette
Neon red and blue with purples swirled

Standing alone, concealed from humanity
Behind venetian blinds, in the darkness of night
Trying to shed myself of all the insanity
A multitude of emotions slowly begin to ignite

Inside and out there is such a commotion
Fleeting thoughts racing in unison with flashing light
Emotions soaring, accompanying lights in motion
How I would love to have a pillow fight!
Gitte© 

Freeze-frame madness
solitary sadness;
no pill to cure
low light to blur...
Oh heaven's sake
to constantly wake
to such
a maddening world.

Dreaming she peeks @ the window blinds...
just like those West Side neon signs,
dancing to and fro
in her mind
placating her are her non-troubling rhymes
of these messed up times...
of living so alone
as within and without a home.
Oh no wonder she introversively roams!
Please tell her what she needeth hearing...
not peering out to a world so unkind,
making noiseless bargains-
that no one can buy!
Do something for the poor girl...
she's not lost
just feeling mighty down
with a frown.
This girl's no clown...
oh she's really on stable ground!
Are you sure doctor?
She sees colors...
she dances barefoot...
she's in a bind-
for sure she must be blind?
Oh sir know your reasons
and find her hand...
for she-
is just looking...
for one honest man!
Nimbusman©

See me smile
See me frown
look deep inside
to see the clown

Squint your eyes
but not to tight
I'm hiding in
the lower right

See my face
as i stare
at all of you
who are there

Look to the shadows
not the light
see my nose
shining bright

As you make
the colors fade
I'm hiding here
in the shade

 (Boo)

You look upon me ......somewhat bewildered.......
Yet that surprises Me not.
Such chaos in One's own thoughts
Yes ....even THOSE I can read.

Clocks keeps tick tocking along
Days now have crept into another time
Still Of Me ..... You know not ..
of Who I really Am.

Stop this Mad Man pace.....
It only slows You down even further.
Do not look past the light.
For YOUR time .....it is not.

Gaze upon Me once more
Be not afraid ......
No harm shall I bring to You
Be calm ..... here... take My hand.

I have known of You from the begining of time
Your first breath of Life ....
We two shared.
Fear Me not ..... for I Am of you.

Open Your eyes....... wide ......Wider.....
Take a good look upon One's self
Windows are wide open.... the light of life comes in.
Look deep within You ...for I Am Your Soul.

Creeping along alone in the night
Drawn to the window with the neon light
Sneaking a peek between the blinds
She is startled to see what she finds

A man with a dagger and a woman down
Ripping at their clothes as they lay on the ground
They were laughing and giggling at the time
For they were playing a game, it was no crime

She knew it was wrong to stand there and watch
But she was frozen in place as he unzipped his crotch
The laughter and giggles were now replaced
With kissing and groping and passionate embrace

Watching him stroke her and penetrate the heat
She was captivated by their fury and couldn't retreat
His game was seduction and she wanted to be next
As she watched through the window while they had sex

Once they were through and the pleasure was gone
She realized she stood there so long it was dawn
So engrossed by what she had witnessed there
She felt guilty about watching while they were unaware

The momentum was captivating and froze her in place
Now she feared they would soon discover her face
So she tried to walk away and remove her stare
But something told her to remain and watch the pair

This time she saw something she hadn't seen all night
Because the love feast distracted her in the neon light
She realized the man who played the seduction game
Looked familiar but she just couldn't remember his name

So when she leaned a bit closer to get a better look
The blinds suddenly dropped, as they became unhooked
Ashamed and embarrassed her body flinched into a heap
It was then that she awoke from her sensuous sleep

Thought, that all invasive
Immortal process
By which we dream...
Electro-static impulses
Fashioned by inspiration
Takes on an impossible task
When faced with desperation
Thoughts then become Negative...
Turned inside-out
Outside in with nothing fixed
No focus, no foundation
A mindless wanderer we become
Lost in both time and space
Without a face
To affront the fear within...
Locked inside
Hurt pride
Of loves own making
Hearts grown cold
Set in a mold
Of haunting Negative Thought...
~LaPoetessa~©

Image in the mirror of glass
shattered tears over the past
looking deeper to my insides
errors unfixable easy to deny

Turned my back to those called friend
blaming them not me, I tried to pretend
true colors will begin to surface
bowing my head in search of purpose

Neon lights are flashing like a beacon
feisty spirit is beginning to weaken
tired of being the outsider, please let me in?
sooner than later the healing will begin
MARYea©

she cried to me
her tears
heavy as black granite
polished with self doubt
no words eased her pain
wrapped around shivers
dressed in a scarlet sheath
of need

she cried to me
her misery
I with no council
to ease her grief
felt her weep and
covered her soul
with my own agony

she cried to me
her tears
touched my cheeks
standing bare we breathed
I was her
and she was me...

My camera's out of focus,
The film got too much light,
So I put it on the internet,
To see what people write.

I can think of your space
your elegant shape
your braided hair
destined
behind a window shade
anguished
as the darkness snails
huddling blood tales
remaining fadeless.

I can pass through your window
as the light wanes
along your neon face
lost in the labyrinth of your sense
under the shadow of a warfare
staring straight to nowhere
becoming speechless.

I can see your inner depths
through a mystical atmosphere
where the night stays longer
and the day is short
and you are into war
dying another death
that was not yours.
__Forbidden_©

Looking through the window
wondering what it's like to be a tree
a young girl stands and stares
with a world of Christmas glee.

With neon lights glowing brightly,
illuminating her face with joy,
she looks back through the window
and says, "Look at that really neat toy!!"

The shopkeeper opened up the door
and paused for a moment or two
then he asked if she'd like to come inside
she said, "Thank you, but I'm just passing through."

The tree lights flashed in the window,
and filled her face with cheer,
the little girl said as she turned to leave,
"Merry Christmas Sir, and Happy New year!"
BluMysti©

windows hidden by venitian blinds
conceal the thoughts of her mind

a woman she is filled with passion
eyebrow ring, guess its fashion

thoughts of passion, seem in vain
while scattered images flood her brain

her lips emit a warming glow
trying to soothe her ravaged soul

passion was never meant to maim
tonight she vows, to reignite the flame
mwm©

I think she borrow reality from its tone
She found it alone in some zone.
The guilt surrounded her mind leaving her a few choices.
She tried to deny her motion only to hear the voices.
The group of sounds started to complicate the walls.
The darkness faded it all before she could fall.

Eyes so dark, so hollow
Searching for a tomorrow

Yesterdays are gone
Wasted times of life

Empty feelings left
A mind so mixed

Blank stares thru blinds
Neon lights flashing

Things are a blurr
Whats gonna occur

Loneliness is felt
Numbness set in
Hunnybunn_3©

Step up, don't be afraid
look beyond the obvious
Push yourself
go ahead
peer between the blinds
Go on
don't be a afraid
LOOK! LOOK!

(Easy for you to say
YOU
have no fear
YOU
have it all together
YOU
are not alone)

I sit in the dark
alone
my heart racing
and the blood surges
through my body
like fire and ice
One, never yielding
to the other
Beads of sweat
flow from by brow
the color of crimson
and my thoughts are
on a collision course
with madness
while my minds eye
only vison, is
my imminent death

So you think I have it
together
You think... I'm not alone
I am frozen... in fear

Forgive my earlier taunt
Let me rephras

Look out the window, please
tell me what you see
tell me what exists
beyond the window of MY world
Reina©

I exist in my mind
Where the truth bears no consequence
Forever unchanging
For what conventions
Can reality impose
On a will such as mine

I am the inevitable
Perpetually conscious inside of life’s vision
The power of tranquillity
That resides in my mind
Can effortlessly decipher
That which is impenetrable

I am the chaotic
The method you can not yet perceive
The guardian of insanity
That pushes the limits
Breeding the rare genius
That refines all the cosmic

I control the excessiveness
That stimulates the process of revolution
The voracious aspiration
To achieve a higher level
Of mental capabilities
And spiritual attentiveness

I am the acumen
All that is conceivable to maintain at once
In harmony with each emotion
Integrated with every thought
The entirety of the experience
Everything that makes us human
