Face To Face

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another presence watches me

Dispiriting shadow wavers

Intense darkness covers us

Fading heart beat in the distance,

Send chills in the sultry breeze

 

Eyes are smoldering like flame

Maddened by occurrences of living

She lingers close by

Leaving an unnatural feeling

 

Anguish is her air

Filters unsteady cries

Despair clothes her colourless complexion

Stepping stones of worthlessness lead the way

 

Emptiness is her aura

Loneliness hovers

Emotional distress weakens a diluted mind

 

Sounds of sorrow is her voice

Her touch is transparent

Tears stain her, each one having a name

That explain her unmeaning life

 

Trails of disgust

Streams of unhappiness

Paths of pain

Bring me to the shadow

 

I come face to face

 

With Me

Really reflective, this one...

[Warren L.G De Mills]

I like the way you write, you capture the essence of what you are trying to convey with such unparalleled skill. "I come face to face with me" -I wasn't really expecting that. Good write!. I currently do not have RR's turned on but i honestly wish I could turn them on for you! I'll be reading some more of your stuff

You have my applause!!!
Very nicely written. The expressions used were fantastic and words were wonderful.
The flow was beautifully maintained with great decoration with phrases.
the finally coming face to face of oneself was fantastic.
Great job!

Excellent work. I like how you give an outsider's perspective on the protagonist and by the end, reveal it to be your own self. Self-probing write. Well done.

The first stanza captured me and kept me reading! Lovely flow of words, nice job.

I know several times I have been shown this reflection andat first didnot recognize Me.. secondly denied it and thirdly repented of the ugliness..we are nothing like we see our selves to be...it takes others giving and encouragement to make something useful of Our images...Im just glad someone believes in Me..

I came face to face with me..........how often do we realize this? Sometimes we don't like what we see and then sometimes we come face to face with ourselves and we are amazed at what is staring back at us. :) Well done!
