Into the Owlcity

Been trying to write this from quite a while..

I couldn't see in the daylight
my vision is suffocated by the sunny mist
glared by the piercing sunlight,
I search for the night's blist.

My dreams soar across scattered hopes
I watch the light settle down for the night
As objects fade to black
my once stagnant mind becomes bright.

By now,I know to what I belong
I am an inhabitant of city of the owls
the one that is far away from this world
somewhere in the silent woods.

Some secret lure of time
it seems I have been called to my place
wasting to hunt a newer wasteland here
I must now search a way to my space.

And where the candlabra swung bright
with the birds’ thousand eyes,
now my black, hooded pupils stare,
As the dryness of sun dries.

And where the silk-shoed lovers ran
with dust of gold in their hair
I open my silent wing,
and watch the night sky and the starry fair.

And, like a stroke of doom,
I ll drop down and swoop across my way
with the wings of hopes outstretched
I ll close my eyes and fly away.

I can imagine savouring each moment of floating night all by yourself yet away from yourself. Let me know if I am any close to your thoughts on this poem. Nice piece indeed!

(I say that to pretty much everyone and I'm not a stalker, I swear ^^)
I'm going through some tough stuff right now so I guess I'm pretty good at talking about life in general. And other things since life isn't good to me :)
Again, amazing job on your work.

Wow, I love this! I really do! Don't ever stop writing, the world needs more poets like this. It has a very dream-filled feel to it, which is my favorite type of mood! By the way, does this have anything to do with the band Owl City? Because they're like, my favorite band! If it is, I would like you to know that I also made a poem based off of their music, it's called "The Song of the Dreamers."

I absolutly love this poem and give it a 100/100! I will also recomend it to all of my friends.

[Balkaran Sidhu]

oh thank you so very much.......nd ...indeed it has something to do with the band...its one of my fav too... :)

[Westminster Abbey]

Oh good. Not a lot of people know that band. My sisiter went to one of their concerts once and didn't take me :(

[Balkaran Sidhu]

One friend of mine once showed me the Music video of Fireflies...nd I loved it...from then on..theY just became One Of my fav :)

[Westminster Abbey]

[Marie]

Full light is too bright...you can search for truth better with dark adapted eyes...
as an owl sees all the forest cries...

[Balkaran Sidhu]

ya u got it absolutely ryt

[Westminster Abbey]

?

[Marie]

I believe he's saying "You got it absolutely right..."

[Westminster Abbey]

no, I mean, where is that quote from?

[Marie]

Sorry, I didn't understand you. I'm not quoting anyone else. Except that Barbara Vine once wrote a book calld "A Dark Adapted Eye."

[quinfinn]

so many interpretations are possible here 1) you have become a creature of the night 2)you are death, stalking the streets of the city 3) you are, in fact, an owl...hunting on a post apocolyptic streetscape...it boggles the mind, and this is an excellent write! well done!

[Balkaran Sidhu]

every interpretion pretty much applies.....

[Dr. Wood ?]

I have no clue what your thoughts might be my friend but it is a damn good poem...You have however spelled Suffocated with a G and not a C on the second line

[Balkaran Sidhu]

oh thanx for the rectification...

[Michael Kevin Spencer]

This is neat and dreamy and had a narrative that captured my attention.

[Balkaran Sidhu]
