One side of the tinted glass window
Housed those measured smiles
Sparkling chandeliers
Immaculate arrangements
Plentiful Of Inanimate
Classy colors
Artificial bird cages & waterfall sounds
Humming appliances
Overflowing wants but tidy bins
Closed Rosewood mahogany doors
And cared for expensive artefacts
With eyes that intermittently gazed
In between the deafening silences
At those tinted glasses
But never wanting to see
What was beyond
Other side of the tinted glass window
Housed abundant laughter
Sparkling stars
Cluttered arrangements
Plentiful Of warmth
Gaudy colors
Chirping birds & gushing rains
Humming breeze
Overflowing needs but wants filled bins
Chestnut rusted doors ajar
And cared for relationships
With eyes that intermittently gazed
In between the numbing cacophony
At those tinted glasses
Always wanting to see
What was beyond

True, Ira.
So much there - here & there.
Depends on where we are.
This reminds me of the saying that the grass is always greener on the other side. It is true that people always want to see what is beyond them. A wonderful poem.

Interesting take of two contrasting perspectives.
Liked the two perspectives juxtaposed. The one on other side always looks better

Glass is always greener on the other side! It is all about the perspective isn`t it?
I quite liked this. Particularly these two lines: “Overflowing wants but tidy bins” and the “Overflowing needs but wants filled bins” – what a wonderful telling contrast.
Read this beautifully crafted poem of yours for the second time today and loved it again.
Love the contrast, Ira. And the ending about wanting to know what's on the other side. So many of us do that. :(
I loved the contrast too. Human nature, I guess...Longing for something on the other side.
