A cure for droopy eyelids

By Scarred Angel

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

A cascading sensation swirls before you, Just a stretched arm away A mingling of delights and torridly changing thought patterns The Pinnacle of high, a vast horizon of unearthly beauty Reach, it is so close It is always there and attainable anytime you wish However, It may become cloudy and visions may blur It could take an eternity to crawl above this wall But even though distorted, it is still there Just out of reach Maybe the next step will lead to bliss The unknown remains hidden until we brave it Meaningless actions, generated by the imagination A crumbling path that remains intact Moments away Forever in sight Omnipresent An unpredictable force unwithered through time Just a little further, almost there Around the next corner, over the next rise Unreservered compassion in its essence The perfect drug, purified within its peak Stumble pathetically towards your end Grasp it, you may take it Hold heaven in the palm of your hand If it slips through your fingers and speed ahead It hasn’t left It’s just being an evasive emotion For even though it may be available A fleeting glimpse is all it allows Just a stretched arm away Written October 24th, 2001 © on Oct 24 2001 12:55 PM PST   0 • 10
