In the eyes of another.

by melissa   Sep 2, 2008


Time slips by her, yet clinging upon her with the grip of an icy hand around her throat... Her feet shuffle the leafs on the ground, retracing what was once known to her... Memories lost in translation are stirred; awakened from what was once a solitude of her personal sanity.

Thoughts unfolded, tucked away, only to resurface with agonizing pain, and yet it is not her own but what she sees in the eyes of another... Another, that she calls herself...Last turning to see; darkness fall upon her and her life being remotely shut down. Gone. Lost forever, like some vast forgotten ship at sea...

    This poetic piece is delivered with such apomb and grace, it is an achieved organic presentation not merely something one "reads"! I'm not sure about the work's title (something even the "best" of writers overlook), however, this material has the seeming natural ability to embrace. engulf its receiver and doen't allow the experiencer true release at the end, only a breather...well worth the encounter and delightful creation!
