Paralyzed in time
I search for myself
behind parapets of stone
that I built long ago
Without ever knowing
what I held in my hands
And in the hysteria
I only find heaven
in your words
Sanity and peace
in your presence
Through you I touch stars
and shape oceans
of blossoming years
and fallen tears
Then we're back again
to a reality
where distance holds you
and I do not

I love this poem! Especially the last line "Then we're back to reality/where distance holds you and i do not". Because throughout the whole poem the reader believes the person you're talking about is there, but in the end he/she's not. I love that lil' twist at the end!

wonderful dark enchantress.  You grasp of words is astonishing, and the way you put them together shows such continuity.

I like the ending (I don't know... I think I have a thing for endings today)!   I dunno. Through the poem I was like, 'okay, don't totally understand this...' then I got to the end "Then we're back again/to a reality/
where distance holds you/and I do not" and I'm like, 'ooohhhh! Now I get it!' I love the way you put the whole thing together. Just love it!

*sniff, sniff*



Then we're back again
to a reality
where distance holds you
and I do not

I can really relate, Jaime. Other then that, I don't know what to say. I loved the poem, but how many times do you want to hear that? LoL...

The ending was truely captivating.
