I examine the unfurnished shell
bent slightly, bare back facing me
Contemplating my existence
Sad, exhausted and hollow
Much like the shell
Dark arms reach out in sweet emancipation
Obediently, I drown in its comfort
But all too quickly
Reality waterfalls inside my window
Comforted no more
Numb feet touch a surface
Of what they take for granted to be the floor
Confronted cruelly by the days necessity
Robotic movements know the way
Calculated breathing
Artifical darkness, my final benefit
Before the metal curtain unveils
A neatly wrapped package
Complete with bow


So lord I see you grinnin' must be grand always winning....AIC

I liked the images in this one, somewhat confusing but very vivid.
Nice write

...somos los locos para siempre
para siempre te amo

Magia_negra  Thank you for taking the time to read my poem.  I must admit that I'm a bit selfish when I write, as I am expressing what I am feeling at the time without regard for anyone who may read it.  That is something I really need to work on.

The unfurnished shell is of course, someone lying next to me.

Dark arms represents the evening darkness.

Reality waterfalls is the morning sunlight.

Articfical darkness, my garage, and the metal curtain, my garage door.

What I'm trying to say in this piece, is that the package represents what I allow the world to see, a person who seems to have it all together.  However, a lot of the time, the contents are very much broken.

Thanks again for the response.
