DAZED
In my own eyes
I cannot see myself again.
Every vision looms but a
coy and treacherous image of she,
born bright by the spirited moon
mad with beauty of the noon
and drunk with a wildness
many a menfolk are forced to knee.
Tranced in her melancholic abyss,
the sure peril of loss
amid the howling thunders
the echoes,
and the deafening silence
I can no longer hear myself.
Read the rest of the poem Show less
The soul of my time and space;
of my sense of place and thought
are all but misplaced
into a meaningless naught
Finally, and surely - finally,
I am lost in the sea
of a poisonous passion,
and drowned deep in a dream
perhaps not meant to be

on EVEN AS TIME HAS PASSED from @scribbler
"I find this poem to be wistful and beautiful. The only thing that I'd suggest is to find some alternates for using "time" so much. As a sample for alternate words in stanza 1, line 2 you could use memories instead yet s…" -
