The Mind Of A Stranger
Everyday Lifestyle Poems
Each and every one of our minds work in a unique way and is personal. This page is dedicated to introduce the reader to two perspectives when faced with one circumstance. The girl with the glass of wine is an immobile scene depicted by two different mindsets. It is for the reader to create a third one based on the two given below.
The Girl With The Glass of Wine Part 1
She sits on her own with a fixed gaze facing
her reflection from behind the bar,
legs crossed and arms likewise
whilst one hand holds a cigarette
and the other a glass of wine.
The glass is translucent
just as she is
It is half empty-
Or half full.
She looks up
pale skin, dark hair, twitching her fingers.
Those free from
the toxicity of the cigarette,
Obviously
Her posture is a work of art
Followed by her choice of wardrobe
And personality
Hidden behind the dark red lips.
Addicted to the taste
Absorbing the essence of a meaningless life.

The Girl With The Glass of Wine Part 2
Look at that woman
the one sitting on the chair,
she was looking at us,
we should buy her a drink.
Chat up a bit, she is on her own after all.
Nah, she seems like trouble
Why don’t YOU talk to her then?
Because I don't trust it.
You don’t even know her.
You can tell that by her posture,
Knees crossed
Arms crossed
She doesn’t want to be disturbed.
Well, you can still get her a drink,
Besides who is to trust?
She holds the only drink that will
Clear her sorrows.
I am not the one to remind her
Of them.
Trust is the only
means of being destroyed.
you give your trust to someone
you are vulnerable
A woman such as this one
could destroy it.
D'you recon?
She is craving for the thirst of another.
Well she is a woman.
You are right she IS a woman but
solitude is sometimes best
than to face a reckless
half-twit like you or me.
