Her Glorious Past

This is the first time in years that i've written a poem. And a symbolic one, never before.
Hope u like it! Please comment and let me know your suggestions.



She’d never stepped out
Of her glorious past
Never dreamed that it wouldn’t last

She’d never stepped out
Of Rolls and silk
Diamonds, rubies and their ilk

She glided about
Her lovely doe eyes
Sweeping unseeing glances
Across chandeliers, manicured lawns,
Vales and clear skies

Blind to the sea of weeds
Blind to the splendor long gone
Leaving only pity in its wake
Not a single soul
Could she call her own

Fools they were
Those that called her a crone
Oh! What did they know?
Of the secrets she’d known?


The times gone by
Have left their scars unhealed
Scars? Or are they
Or are they relics
Of a past to be cherished?
