His Silhouette Poem by Genevieve Surrender

His Silhouette

Rating: 3.5


In the corner
of the dark hall
leans a silhouette.

Against the wall
it sits with
a cigarette in hand.

The graceful outline
of the whisp of smoke
from its lips
is roving about its head,
directionless.

It angles its disflavoured frown
toward me
and I see its face.

He is handsome.
He is young.
He is troubled.

His silhouette
makes rigid curves
and I turn away.

I like this Callisto, you show a lot more wisdom than your years would suggest. 10 for a bulls eye.

the healing form sometimes troubles the soul too appealing soon to drown so another direction is needed a fine poem
