The serenity in the mist, is so tranquil
Captures the images of morning in the rain
Of a sunset overlooking heaven
And the crashing waves in the hell below
Look upon the beauty near the bluffs

Grasp the movements of her lips
The pace of her stance
The hole in her soul
Careless in every moment…

Lye in green meadows
In the coldest morning
And glimpse upon her image of grace
As she falls into my arms
Embrace her touch
Sensual in its caress
In her eyes the pleasure and pain

Hide in the rain, so far away
To revive the cycle of questions
Dwell upon the thoughts for days
Filter through the illusions
And dwindle into nihility
In a state of omission

Enclose yourself upon this fantasy
Let her touch take you into this
Reality that is a grasp away from Eden
And a point from purgatory
Only to fade away

Far from this reality I am now
Yet I feel drawn towards my lover

Hey Alpha.. I'm a big fan of minamilistic writing. Using a few words to say a lot.
I like the idea of this and the feeling you are going after... but got lost along the way. Now that may well be due to the way I read, and the things I like to read..so don't take any of this too seriously or as a fact.

I think it has a lot of promise...but could use a good tightening up and edit to make sure the idea stay clear to the reader and that it flows....

just my two cents worth... and we all know two cents is not worth much...

later!!!

Hmm, I can definatly see where your going with that...I suppose it was the way I was making the whole plot go. The direction I was aiming for had to do alot with reverse "journey". More so of having Resolution, come before Chaos, and Initiation. But also I was looking for a different direction, and the way I was looking at it was more so of an alternate reality, in where what I see is more of an illusion, and the thoughts and false reality that I cant bear...So I guess thats my thoughts of how the poem was directed. Oh well...
