Mirror to the past by Zuzu Valla

Every time you look into the mirror you see your past. Light reflection reflected back into your eyes, which does take time, just a nanosecond or three.

Every time you look into the mirror you see your past. Light reflection reflected back into your eyes, which does take time, just a nanosecond or three. But when l close my eyes, I can go even further. You there with me…

Colours

blowing a kiss with those red lips

made her happy

she got many smiles in return

and still does

her lover however doesn´t like

the colour of her lipstick

crimson is too provoking…

The truth

her face can only tell half the story

why shouldn´t she keep it a secret

a bit longer

after all it´s been 16 years

and nobody knows 

nobody knows anything

Smooth

little did she know

her life unfolded

leaving no scars

only today´s beauty

which fills her heart

with a familiar feeling

from way back…

No…

can I forget…

knowledge is my worst enemy

shame takes over

guilt too

I raise my head but can´t see anything

dare I look…

Valour

I used to think about things

taking action was too hard

I lacked courage

I´m no hero

but I wish I was

maybe one day

maybe not

Poem: Gudfinna Runarsdottir

Heaviness

I´m carrying my luggage quietly

it´s a burden

but still invisible to everybody but me

it´s weighing me down

please help me

maybe you´ll see it if you open your eyes.

Question

have I changed

yes of course I have

for better or for worse

I don´t know

does it matter

changes mark a new beginning

what else do we need

Travelling

I had the best time of my life

but only once

fortunately I remember that day vividly

step into my time machine

let´s travel back together

I would love to share that day with you

Knowing

If only I could foresee the future

I would make sure there were no mistakes

but that would be hard

very hard

maybe it´s best not to know anything

and pretend

because I don´t want to ask silly questions

Poem: Gudfinna Runarsdottir

Life

years pass and she grows

knowledge is gained

aspiration and excitement

still a playful little girl

countless candles on a cake

unfulfilled wishes

years pass and she grows

bags full of wisdom

age is irrelevant
