Pale Thoughts

Pale Thoughts

A Poem by labyrinthapathy
"

I for one can't keep my mind off of playing with dolls.

"
What is it of a porcelain doll?


Is it her eyes? They show a loving fear of the attention left coming

Is it her lips? A beautifully frail border of words left coming

Is it her sunken cheeks?
Her concave throat?

Her paper white skin, so gone and fragile of the days left coming


What is it of her that leaves the tinge of metal staining my mouth?
Her desperate plea for her investigation thinly veiled as a cry for help?
She knows no one could save her if they tried.
She knows because she denies them
Refuses to be guided astray from her desires.
Her fantasies
   Of harmonies
              Vehement screams
     Only seen
         In fantasy

I wonder who the real porcelain doll is...is it you that is being defined...isn't there a touch of porcelain doll in all women?...I don't know...I think so...but I really don't know.

A pleasant read...

The presentation...I JUST LOVE IT!
Does this doll have a soul? Can she cry and grow old?
Tell me...does she have any stories that need to be told?
