rainy illusion

when the fiery wind sings
Old Bank Street, Manchester, UK by R.A.D. Stainforth 
you hold my arm
(it makes a nice frame for pictures)
you have mastered that craft
to create illusions

just a deal, that show of caring
it can't repair the damage,
fathom deep, cracked to the edges

such a close call
why would anyone add to it
those redundant emotions
I want it back, I want to exist
I don't trust chance anymore

"the billow of clouds, 
cloud my mind, 
and I let you hold my hand"

It looks like a cold wind is whistling through their hearts and they are just playing lip service to their relationship, both waiting for the other to finally break it. What a telling tale you have told here.

Sunday’s Whirligig is available to help “fill in the gaps” created by Brenda’s three-month absence from The Sunday Whirl. I hope you’ll consider joining in the whirling fun. Check it out!

How sad to be in those shoes.

The title and the second stanza.....ouch. This paints such a powerful picture of what far too many relationships are really like behind the scenes they create for public viewing!!

Such a beautiful picture. But pictures aren't always what they seem. Well done.

So true how we cannot always rely on chance.
