Introspective Tears

In the dark trying to see in
Nothing comes to vision
Searching way out for the sound of water rolling down skin
Just when you think it's there
You realize it's nowhere near
The velvet facade of a teardrop splash
Looking for a flash to spark the mark of brilliance within
Time slowing down to a march
At that moment of suspense
Illumination comes hence
Behind the curve of a mirror
The shine blinds for a split
As time speeds up to a sprint
Your reflection fills the space before
When you thought there is a door
You fall beneath the floor of the wet
Sinking behind heartfelt drapery
Holding the insight for one last peak
Leaking the might to know
What is out there as you grow
In the dark trying to see in

Just some ageless words



Thank You!

Impressive how you describe the once in a while perfect nothingness. The nothingness, which can be something for a moment, but then it turns again into nothing, every sparkle every feeling for a blink of seconds numbed... You must have felt it so deeply, as I did too. Your words are indeed timeless, as the beautiful post-rock (one of my favs) "Burial" is too. As in life all is filled honestly with the perfect transience. Again such a nice piece of writing and full of heartfelt illustrations, Looking through your lens... Goosebumps, because I can relate.... well done!

This is absolute brilliance! I think it originated from an abstract idea... A person's introspective thoughts as he tries to search for his identity and stand out in a world that is full of hardships.. His emotional toil as he tries to grasp every little chance but they 'fall beneath the floor' as you said...Its very subtly told and I have seen some very unique but well fit metaphors in this poem.. This is excellent work! Keep up mate! Looking forward to more of your writing :)
