Pain (Fleeting Seconds)

Haunted by memories

The shadows of evening

Shudder and tremble

Like the pain

That fades and reappears

For fleeting seconds on her face

  Odd comment for a painful poem but that’s the beauty of poetry I suppose – it is what it is to the reader!

    Precisely. I assume nothing and take the poem for what it is; beautiful.
