Phantasms
Transparent forms
That glide
And gibber
In the dark
Pass down halls
Into oblivion
Like icy gell
From a pond
That melts
Leaving
dark leaves.
And so it is
With the years
And all the white faces
Petals
From a delicate
Bloom
Winds carried
To the furthest
Corners
Where they gather
Like cobwebs
Inside of you.
This poem has me emotionally conflicted. The words are beautifully placed and danced threw my head. It also made me face my own mortality. Not in a break down kind of way, but calming and understanding it’s natures way.
a very insightful response - yes, I agree, and those who know me would believe it's conflicted :)
I’ve been a song writer/poet for a long time. So I understand when shut off your mind and write your truest self is able to be shown. I’ve let a few people read my work and their surprised that the words on the paper came from me. Thank you for showing us who you are and I can’t wait to see more of your work.
thanks, @zboyd - I appreciate that
I felt like this was existentialism in 24 stanzas. Well written, the mood was conveyed nicely.
