Subjective Reality

by Aegis   Jul 3, 2018


Your breath is an itch on a missing limb that
I sleep next to every night-

spectral.

Each morning I arise
I wipe phantoms from my tired eyes,

and haunt these hollow bones like a
skeleton in human guise.

    Judging comment:

    This is indeed very beautiful — perfect portrayal of how in few words, something beautiful is created. Reminds me of Gatsby — a reminder of an old love — your words as beautiful as the ones I felt while watching daisy breathe on screen. But I wonder what has made the poet call this work, "a subjective reality".

    Great all through, but those last two lines are indeed 'haunting'. Fantastic! :-)

    Love this!

    I love those that fall out almost fully formed ... as if "in a passing daydream.." Lovely work.

      I'm quite happy it managed to sneak into Maple's eyesight^_^ I was pretty proud of this one, kind of just spilled out through my fingers in a passing daydream I had. I appreciate your kind words:)
