    Porcelain Doll

     

    I try to intimate love like a beautiful

    porcelain doll. Rosy cheeks, courageous smile.

    The beauty of my porcelain doll hides behind

    the art of her face, as I do with colors of

    the blue sky that I paste upon my eyelids.

    For my love I lost I cry no more.

    I use to wish he lied to me because I wanted

    to believe he actually loved me. I soon

    realized that on the other side of

    attraction lies repulsion.

    I held on to my porcelain doll the way he

    held on to me, lifeless.

    Though time kindled upon me, I learned to

    let go and grow for what wasn't good for me

    was a lesson learned.

    My dear sweet doll is shattered but

    Unbreakable. Let's try again...

    As I travel long years with my doll, I soon

    discover beauty within.

    An interesting transition from outward reflections to an actualization of inward awareness...very creative imagery you've chosen to portray an idea...Great work!

    Yes sometimes we have to forgive and forget and let go of our pride and love ourselves for who we are in spite of what others do or say. A very beautiful expression of yourself and who you are. God Bless BikemanRJ

    Very interesting poem. I especially like the use of the metaphor in the line that reads - The time kindled upon me. my niece has been collecting Barbie dolls since she was a child and now is 42 years old. I selected this poem based on the title while reading I thought of my niece. Thanks and this is a 10 from me

    Thanks! Basically the porcelin doll in this poem is resembling me. I wanted the reader to relate of how life can be more then just a doll. And as women we can't be perfect. Even though time continues and we age we can and must move on.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
