Still Clouded

Sonnet

 

Still clouded, my mem'ries as in a spell
I left 'moving towards what' lurks in shadows
knowing, naught, what ominous signs fortell
rain fell unpleasing thru~ weeping willows
yet compelled, i ventured forth into night
dark spirits fastened locks 'pon soul and breath
mysterious beams of mist shone grey light
like dull light on a stone  haloed in death
Icy chills moved upon my ashen skin
still no words could i utter from blue lips
a sleepwalk of suffocation,within
waking to fear with iced-blood fingertips
 
A dream so real, 'moving towards what' may be?
still clouded, death's light on a stone' for me

chilling and haunting and very vivid. The flow of a sonnet went really well with this theme... and I like the rhyme a lot. A really intense write. Thanks for all your submissions to my contest. :]

This was chilling
You painted a clear picture here of your vivid dream
I wanted to reach out and help you
Yet your words so soft it almost had a fairytale feel to it
Well penned as always
