I missed the deadline for this photoprompt at One Stop Poetry so it now serves a dual purpose as (missed) Photprompt and One Shot Wednesday entry. Please, stop by and check this place out. It is a great place to introduce yourself to many, many great unkown and know artists.

Young lovers
Rust on the window
Shut from the years
And the constant threat of weather
Of his fists
And whether or not they’ll make it through
Or if she will too
Weather or not
It’s still the same
Still shut
Still shutting
While giddy toes do a dance
On rotten wood
Ready to fall
While lips kiss
There are empty chairs,
Waiting
Broken places,
Waiting
Hands on hair
Shadows on lips
She is waiting,
For him to be young again
oh i want to be young again, just for her...time to knock the rust...off...nice one shot and take on the prompt...

very evocative poem
A little late is better than never! Glad to see your piece for the prompt regardless - a delightful flurry of images. Waiting...always waiting, for a return to youth that will never come. Waiting in memories, remembering those bright moments past. Lovely.
