"FACINGFACES 2002 - 04" SELECTED POETRY

SOME SCARS NEVER FADE

Within unseen walls a silenced spirit walks
To haunt the living with truth
With the memories of her life-
And the dreams left betrayed.
In whispers which chill the flesh
In screams which shudder the soul
In cries that stir the heart
She moves in the silence of a photograph
Which haunt not from without- but within.
From the shadows to the Light
Her image a tapestry of fear
Of the dark legends yet untold
Still sealed in a box of pain
With no voice and no name. . .
And it is up to the living to open the box.
