Projected
into tube of scope
a single eye in wink
dejected
as the eye elopes
into reflected think...

Shards on mirrors
dazzle eye--
parse of words
in piece of pie--
between the crosshairs of the scope
reflected by the dreams of hope--
string in mend upon guitar--
shoulders bend in dreams of far.

Finger takes a taut string--weep...
Walking neck and sweeping street--
Bending tunes from something wound--
make this "everyday" profound.

Every brick beneath my feet
be uneven--my eyes meet
the beauty of an imperfection--
beneath my feet? RESURRECTION...

I am swallowed by dark cave.
I am sin--I'm unforgave.
My heart is beat of fist guitar.
pounding box between the chords...
trail, kaleidoscope of stars--
I forgot what life is for...

One needs to read this gem sevral times to see all its gifts...so many cleverly done images and metaphors...the inner rhymes...the alliterations...

very cool write KA..written with a depth of emotion that makes me want to hug you.

Serenity, I can't seem to pick just a single line out because each one was EXCELLENT!

Now this is absolutely stunning in it's use of metaphors.  I am sure that I only caught a fraction of what it shows in my first 2 reads, so I am saving it to pick at a little bit more.  Beautifully depicted and a wonderful read from the first wink to the last turn of the kaleidoscope.

serenity-
This is an amazing write!
I agree with JM...there is much depth to
be found within this piece.  I love the
imagery and the use of metaphors.
Awesome!

just a bit of an exercize in mixed metaphor--I was trying to use the patchwork of seeming unrelated ideas to convey the theme of illusion...not sure if I succeeded, but it was a fun write anyhow...

Thanks all! to forum!
