Gilded Age

How long should we presume this gilded age

Staring at the wall.

Ever longing…

Sometimes hoping

always longing

Wait now pause --

Silence fills the emptey streetes.

Where lovers met now mother weeps

still crowded silence falls

plastic magic with a switch

how much would you pay for that

what would you give for that

How long should we presume this gilded age?


I just thought of this idea for a poem and quickly came up with this. Consider it a work in progress

  1. This poem is sad, yet romantic. I love the visualization and depth of emotion here, especially the line "where lovers met now mother weeps." Great short poem, I want to read more!
