COMICS & POEMS 2: Window-Shopping, Poetry

Window-Shopping

Nose prints on glass,
distant fragrances unsensed.
Fingerprints on glass,
distant objects untouched.
Signs of breath fade to black,
eagles without a sky
soaring without destiny,
just looking.
Inviting, yet uninvited.
Wanting, yet unwanted.
Seeing, yet unseen.
Hearing, yet unheard.
Loving, yet unloved.
Tears from the soul
extinguish dancing dreams
and flaming spirits
weep for life unpurchased.

--Written by Renee Cleveland
