Floor full of shattered mind

---- Floor full of shattered mind

In an afternoon of untimely shower

Mind falls out of the benumbed fingers.

A winter of crazy white on the screen.

underneath is an open road to jump,

An open letter to do away with

         Life.

Unsilent moving picture of deep fatality

                 Flowers amid cold drops of water.

Far, so far you have gone, my wit

Far from my floor full of shattered mind.

I could have died out to prove fatigue

I could love you instead,

But, I chose to sit in a heap

On a floor full of shattered mind.

Excellent imagery.
Rain - so real I felt chilly as I read.
Very well done.

That is a superb image. . . it sounds so like broken glass "floor full of shattered mind". Excellent piece of writing.

This poem has a very circular feel and I love the way you take us a journey of sorts and then bring us back to where we began. This is quite an interesting and beautiful word picture...quite evocative too...so many layered meanings here. Lovely work :)
