Alcoves, waiting to be filled or fulfilled <br />Waiting in the recesses of my mind: <br />Longing for the absolute self to find <br />What goes where, when, how and why. <br /> <br />Alcoves, patient and secret, <br />Waiting for objects and subjects to make <br />Memories, to fix, mend and bend <br />Life’s recollections, to analyse <br />To question and then to reply. <br /> <br />Alcoves that wait and desperately want; <br />The self is an entity that cannot be bought: <br />The route of life is fraught with danger and <br />Only at times is life’s true meaning sought. <br /> <br />Copyright: Rani Turton<br /><br />Rani Turton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alcoves-shadowed-and-empty/
