Sammy,

You truly are gifted...such a beautiful poem you have made!
The only thing is...it is so sad!!! I do not wish for my friend to be sad at all!!!
But the poem is very beautiful indeed. I am going to enter as well and I am going to beat you, HAHA!!

5/5 Ingrid

I haven't seen the picture but darn that last line closed the poem well and gave me a hint of the chills.

Nicely written for the challenge.....seems we all chose the same picture for our poems....

You've touched the essence of the image perfectly....many beautiful couplets...love the ending:

"Awaiting the silent haze of darkness,
till death touches my sleep."

^sums it up so well!....take care, Debbie

Sam
Don't know why I missed commenting this one. Maybe I was sleeping :) Excellent piece captures the essence of the picture. Imagery and word choices are fantastic.

Awaiting the silent haze of darkness,
till death touches my sleep.

These lines really hit right in the heart. How often these thoughts cross one's mind. Great work Sam!
Take care
Love Cindy

Another great poem. They may not be long but they are definately very emotive and powerful.

I simply loved the lines:

Translucent fingers graze at sanity,
bathed upon soulless abandonment.

Great work!
