A Beautiful Escape

The world around me

Frigid, Thick

Is not easy to ignore

Black ice, mocking

Deceivingly pristine

White horses on the waves

A destruction of the shore

Dark winds blistering

Icy, spectral shadows

 In the darkness

They surround me

Capturing my breath,

Sight, all feeling

My only escape is to

Fade away and let go

Into my perfect dreams

Like Kinnixk said, the "felling" is a bit off. I think you meant "feeling"? Anyway, besides that, it's a great poem. It starts off describing oppression, overwhelmption (I use that word a lot, even though it's not real. I think it should be. It just rolls off the tongue, well, me tongue...) then the resistance fades and acceptance falls into place. The metaphors are excellent and really enhance the poem, and the ending is very strong. The last line, "Into my perfect dreams" could be interpretted as dying, as if the overwhelming problems fogging the beginning of the poem are associated with life, and death is the only escape. A unique and inspiring piece. Thank you.

Sounds dreamy on the edge of dark ...

I love it. I know some are confused about the "felling". I understand that it means the past tense of falling. It works very well with the flow of the rest. When sight falling to darkness at the we cease to be us and go in the Heaven......this is beautiful.

"Sight, all felling" I'm a little confused on this part. I love the last few lines, I can relate very easily with this. Beautiful write :D
