Chapter 1: Elsewhere

Chapter 1: Elsewhere

A Poem by Nessa
"

This is just the first.

"

Let’s take a grasp on things beyond our reach

Because the silence holds a better time

It rises and breaks through the thick smoke around

It concentrates on the tick of the clock;slower with every move made.

And then a late night phone call leads into a rhythm of thoughts

Flowing out the window and weaving through the stars

The light breaks our trance and you’re face down on the floor

You broke from the memories that left us

As they turn from real—to ghost.

Feeling of perfect nights

And not so perfect days.

Your voice echoes through the emptiness of this room

Around and around it goes,

Waiting for a something or someone to hit.

Down they go,

Never stopping to realize

This

is

the

moment.

The moment to live and break through the expectations

The interior makes me nostalgic.

Let's take it for a spin; it brings us to times

They can't be seen by the eyes of the ignorant

We cross off the words exchanged through our tongues

Like days on that calendar hung in the living room.

So we expand our mind to each end of these halls.

As seconds slow to minutes; they get checked off with the passing time.

We count down the hits till we break

5,4,3,2, and 1.

It's speeding up, there's no stopping it now.

Look forward to you finishing this. I would change this as a prelude and perhaps make the next chapter a bit more expanded etc.
