Awake without seeing
I walk through the darkness of my own imagination
Lost amidst a sea of dreams and broken promises
My hand reaches out into the unknown
Searching through the mist of uncertainty
Grasping for what once was but shall never be again
My mind wanders through the mist
No destination no longing
Just vastness, emptiness
Point of no return as life slips through my fingers
I watch it fall and I wonder
Was that really me
In the mirror stands a stranger
Fractured by the shards
Broken but complete
Come it beckons
A siren that I willingly follow
Another 100 words from me @ Velvet Verbosity

Bravo, love. Bravo.
this so feels like you're in my head.
Beautiful....
This? Is lovely. I found it through a comment on Lance's entry. I hope you will link it up to VV's challenge. Beautifully done.
Aimee, tag you're turn.
Diva, it's my favorite hiding spot.
SD, mwah
Purplemoose, thanks. Actually I tried to link up yesterday but it didn't work so I left a comment which didn't work either. Just tried again so it's linked now. Apparently I pissed the fridge gods off yesterday and they decided to make everything else stop working as well.
You are rapidly becoming one of my favorite poets =)
I'm glad you were able to post it - sometimes it seems to happen that way. Wanted to say I LOVE poetry that does not resort to forced rhyme. Poetry does NOT need to rhyme in order to be good. :) This piece, as I said before, is lovely. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful poem. Beautifully written and very moving.
Haven, I take that as a major compliment coming from you. Thank you.
PurpleMoose, thank you very much. Mine is what it is. I am just its host that it uses to be heard.
Bardicblogger, thanks and thanks for stopping by.
Great write!
Thank you for posting this - I think many of us can relate to it. It certainly touched a spark in me.
Very poignant. I'm glad you shared this through VV's Challenge.
