The Looking Glass

Missing image

You float like angles
above the singeing sin
charring character
 of the soul
    to ashes;

 

Fall upon the shore

  drift away

sway silence

to tainted cords

of the voice's own ambition

 

and we are captives.

 

Within quotations of the present

forgetting we used to be

just what we are now

only a simple name change

and the mind conceives,

              anew!

 

Land ahead! the sailors cry

stomachs swooshing with

regurgitating materials

  of Scientifics

 

[mapping the world in their fashion]

 

And while we gather

behind your iris

contemplating the way we move

towards the sun

for the fuel of the soul,

 

            we need you.

 

but don't consider yourself

a stand by photographer

collecting our sprit to your lens;

 

we are prisoners to the world

watching in days

what you will never know

 

being able to do nothing

except realizing the beauty

    you destroy

and will never be able to conceive

                  in your heart.

    This has to be one of my favorites by you. Great imagery, and yes, I love how you looked into the picture's soul. Sailor imagery = fantastic.

    Once this contest is over, I'm going to bookmark this.

    So stunning, beautifully penned.
    I must say that I read this twice,
    that's just how outstanding I think this is.

    " Within quotations of the present
    forgetting we used to be
    just what we are now
    only a simple name change
    and the mind conceives,
    anew! ".

    I very much enjoyed your whole piese of art,
    but my favorite part was that, so powerfully
    expressed.

    Great job...

    Loveandblessings2u & yours always
