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…

Poem: Gudfinna Runarsdottir

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

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

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
