Argh argh arrrgh. My ability to write exponentially decreases w/ each poem. Crap.
Vreni


Illusion

Frigid, I walk along the cobblestones
Angry at the world, so utterly alone.
The frosty wind nips at my back,
Colors my cheeks, fingers attacks.
I stop, mid-step, I do not believe
For I see your face staring back at me.
In a puddle your reflection tranquilly lies
Complete with a smirk and coal black eyes.
I falter for a moment, unsure of my feet,
Incredulous of illusion in the nether concrete.
Running to the pool, I kneel on the ground,
A million thoughts, verbal questions abound.
Silent, you just give me a nod and a wink,
Your reflections begins to fade, slowly sink.
I gasp, plunge my fingers into the icy ripples,
The mind- numbing cold my hands does cripple.
Sobbing, I beg and implore for your return,
As my tears drip downward, a freezing burn.
You are gone now, simply insanity’s illusion
Remaining only is memory’s disillusion.

I don't see why you think this is so bad.  I think every poem I've read of yours has contained well thought out thoughts and very good writing.  In other words, great poems.  I think this one is really good because it contains very deep thoughts and feelings and is written well (it flowed good for me and just felt right).  Well, if you dont stop saying you're work is bad than I'm just going to have to...to..do something to get you to stop    I really like how this poem ended (and gosh I wrote a lot):

"You are gone now, simply insanity’s illusion
Remaining only is memory’s disillusion."

  Hey! hah if this your talent's decreasing, I'm really really sorry that I missed the first stuff you did...This was incredible, the words were perfect and the ideas were perfect. Don't stop writing. Ever.

Decreasing writing ability?  Reading this poem just made me feel like I don't even deserve to be around the same forum as you.  Like I have no talent at all.  This poem is amazing
