I Am No Crystal Gazer
I have no crystal ball to tell a future yet unseen.
To urge you change from what you are, to what you might have been.
To cover up the pains that haunt you, try to hide the scar,
I only see an open book to tell me who you are.
The angry frown, the eyes so dark like unmined anthracite.
The lips that curls around such bitter teeth that seek to bite.
A hand outstretched to offer help or maybe soothing balm,
a voice of reason, loud and strong, but meaning only calm.
Your voice once sweet and innocent,now drips with barbs of acid,
eroding heart and soul of all who once were kind and placid.
Unfeeling hands no longer grip for safety within mine
but feel the need to strike and sever our now weak life line
No crystal ball have I to see where everything went wrong,
to change a future you have set where I do not belong.
I know you’re so much more than all the bile you show to me
but only you will have the power to ever just break free.
To show the world the other face that wants so much to smile,
the eyes so full of hatred now, that once could so beguile
whoever gazed within them, but now leaves a crystal ball
which shatters when looked into, and splinters lives of all.

Wow!! LO!!.... this is 'Way Intense' girlfriend!!..... It has a profound 'ring of truth' to it.......which means you are conveying something truly sad...... to watch someone close to you transform into some form of darkness ALWAYS has a profound effect on everyone involved......I'm so sorry to hear you had to experience such a tragedy...... because somewhere in there you hint at the 'goodness' that once was in him......I hope it helped to write it all down LO!!.......VERY well crafted poetic narrative (as per usual)....... you are truly gifted...... capable of writing on any subject matter!!........ALL. STARS!!.....well done.......LOVE & ROCKETS!!......T xo ?✴❤
Thanks so much Tony.. and, as always, you read between lines and truths so well..yes a very personal issue with someone who has changed beyond measure and left abandoned the wonderful person she was , and maybe could still could be ...but I am not very hopeful. Sometimes we need to see the words we are feeling to formulate what an impact they are having in our lives ..and there is no better medium my friend, than through the power of poetry..Thank you as always my empathic, poetic brother.xx

Thank you so much Matthew. That’s so generous and kind of you .Lodigiana xxx
Hello Lodigiana...
Sometimes, people we love become strangers...
If I had a Crystal Gazer 1 that showed me something great and wonderful all the time I'd smash it into a million pieces because, it certainly would have been defected...
Best wishes and blessings!
Great write!
Thank you for sharing...
Hugs...

I enjoy reading your comments so much Sparrowsong, they are always so full of life and vibrant! We sometimes have no control over other peoples emotions and paths taken and even if I were a crystal ball it would not have helped at all..we can only live life as we live it....Thank you for your sweet comments ! Lodigiana xx

Bless you darling! the Cosmo family is just the best!!!! xx
What a lovely comment!..thank you so very much Fiona. Lodigiana xx
This is my fourth time reading this, lodigiana. I just didn't know what to say except that it's beautiful. Now I say that it's clear poetic music that moves. My lines: Your voice once a sweet and Innocent, now drips with barbs and acid, eroding heart and soul of all who once were kind and placid.
Overall it's a wonderful write and so rhythmic. 5 stars!
Thank you so much Michael! I can honestly say that this was a really personal piece of writing for me ..but cathartic at the same time..poetry is a bit like that really isn't it?..allows one to express but also absorb. So pleased that you stopped by and really happy that you enjoyed it! Lodigiana x
