Behind each window is someone's home. Their lives are lived within the walls of those rooms. Do you know what they feel? Do you know the shadows that haunt them? Do they stand at the window and stare towards the horizon, hoping, dreading or fleeing from... What? Does she think of me when the sun collapses and the evening begins? Does he regret the words he should have said but just couldn't translate his feelings for words? Is the old lady still painting her face and fixing up her hair, thinking that her husband is waiting for her somewhere... Do the children still play in the courtyard while their mother sits on the bench remembering herself from another time and wondering where that person is? Does that old couple still dance to Sinatra, all dressed up and in love? Does life and love exist behind each window or is it simply hundreds of stage plays or stories? #poetry #poems #poem #poetsofinstagram #poetofinstagram #prosebyme #mypoem #freddyzalta #writing #writingcommunity #igwriters #igwriter #original #originalpoem #originalprose #poetsociety #writersofinstagram #writer #author #advice #brooklyn #behindthewindows #loveInstagram
