Mirrored Images

In the forest of my cloudy mind
Shadows which I cannot comprehend
I see yesterday's painful nightmare
Falling dignity, landing who knows where

Circling the circumference of my imagination
Reaching for mirrored images
All I can find is an unreachable horizon
The closer I get the further pain engages

I maintain my balance, closing my eyes
Hope within asserts the will of comfort
The search gains momentum through flashes
Of compounded memoirs, dreams so short

The heat of my trembling heart creating waves
Images of trouble, Images of childhood naives
Powerful forces of loneliness, threatening menaces
Engaging tumultuous regurgitations of lost embraces

Peaceful flows of thoughts lost in time's tranquility
Clouding the inpenetrable contours of my conciousness
Somehow managing an alternative and relentless
Desire to accept the innevitable balance of fragility

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
(Daniel J D)

Daniel,

Life is very fragile indeed.  Wonderful expression of emotion here.  They seem to flow before me like a rollercoaster.  The ups and downs of life are represented well.

Excellent imagery, Daniel...wonderfully written, m'friend!

to be with you...
I've tried to hide my passion,
but it's just no use...
piece by piece I lose it
when you walk into the room...
