Picture Frames

Sable picture frames

          Are stacked

          In a haphazard fashion

          Upside down

          They peer into the darkness of discarded hope

          Lying in their corner


The wine is a deep purple

         A pairing

         Hopefully perfect

         Aromas swallow us

         As I serve the roasted pork and sauteed asparagus

        Onto our waiting plates


We dance into careful

          Cultivated

         Conversation

         With pensive glances

         While framed smiles of her and I suffocate

         In the carpet

A/N:

I borrowed the form from a couple poets I read here on Wattpad, I do not remember who specifically, but if it was you, then thank you - leave a comment.

As for the content, luckily it is fictitious, but you know the worried mind is always branch predicting.

And yes, the poems leading up to this one were purposefully a little less heavy, so as to draw this one out starkly.

Thank you for reading.
