Sky Seized.

by ghosts in bloom   Sep 18, 2007


I took a walk on dripping streets
With nighttime as my veil.
We walked and talked,
Myself and I,
A dewy conversation.
Safe until I fell beneath.
The orange glow of streetlights
Held me under accusations stare.
The eyes of surrounding houses
Blink vacant and listless,
Almost making time slur.
The condensation of anxiety
Wets my palms
And fogs my senses.
Where have I gone?
My eyes scream upward
To the starry witness.
Seeking help; the orange prison
And blue twinkle collide.
Is no one on my side?
I took a walk on dripping streets,
With nighttime as my veil.
We walked and talked,
Myself and I,
And now myselfs gone missing.

    I love the ending to this. I feel like I lose myself sometimes and I'm all alone. I like how you describe the street that your walking on. You don't do it in a creepy "I'm alone in the dark" kind of way, but more in an adoring kind of way, like your wandering around looking for someone. The flow was constant and very easy to follow. I've since how much you have grown as a writer and that's great. But this was wonderful none the less. Keep it up sweetheart :) Nik
