hegira to nowhere

08/2013

this walk away from 

all I thought I knew

is getting easier 

with every swallow

this stroll through 

concrete fields of neon

replaces the energy 

of an ashen backdrop

I've become a trace 

of who I used to be

coming back around 

to me, the life

I'd lost to 

the black and white 

of my pointillism 

what a beautiful spectra 

this fauvism of my perception

only every once in a while

does your memory spill 

over my slurred state

but it is nothing another 

shot to the head won't kill

Oh I felt here in a dream, smokey, and dreamy! it felt like your perception changed into a utopic place, where art, and words roll out, of your chest... Your ending is so poignant.... you really touch me with your writing buddy... it has always so much pathos in it, so so much! beautiful penning xx

I do, I do... oh! you're brilliant truly! :D xx

WICKED....I loved how you ended this with a BANG!

what a beautiful spectra
this fauvism of my perception

blurred vision...a drunken perception....it makes reality a little easier to deal with I guess.

however; it does not help us face the ghosts of tomorrow.

I love the imagery...beautiful...but I'm still floored by the ending. Ouch.

Ohhh....you know....how many times do we die in the process of love...only sometimes it is hard to get back up ;) As always hon, damn cool! xx

Trying to get over a lost love? The vivid colors of memory are often not a realistic impression of what once was. We tend to remember the good times...perhaps that is a defense mechanism. Great metaphor. The introspection is superb. Lydi**

Metaphorically strong as an ox, self help by self destruction, we all do it. I guess thats what they mean by fighting fire with fire. excellent poetry in here.
