Array ( [sid] => 148080 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Fog [time] => 2009-02-20 17:49:49 [hometext] => It's been over 3 years since I last posted here. It seems that the more things change...the more they stay the same [bodytext] =>

The fog envelopes...enfolding
clutching at me with detached attention
Obscuring my vision...hiding what's real
while masking my fitful dreams

Distorted...it leads me along...leads me alone
always so near the precipice
Whispering wisps of insane lucidity
making sense of the senseless and inane

My thoughts echo off of it...repeating
making me nod in agreement
Providing false comfort in my delusions
surrounding me...filling me

Movements disguised...visions misshapened
I scoff that there could be others
If so...why aren't they here with me
insulated and solitary...confined

The drops on my skin...moisture
feeding my soul with tears from the gods
I rub them in quickly to sate my thirst
never seeing the crimsom stains

Footsteps in the distance...so familiar
keeping pace with my unsteady gait
Are they following or leading...receding
this stony path so biting...so inviting

My eyes see only the reflections...perceptions
of what I pretend once was and yet to be
While inside my heart is crumbling
dying and drying...at a tremolo beat

What if it dissipates...dispersing
dissolving into nothing more
Will disclosure mean redemption or rejection
scars on the inside finally exposed

Is this all that's left...merely remnants
pieces and fragments torn asunder
Feeding upon me to sate its own hunger
until all that's left is...the fog

Hugs you, I am so glad we are back in touch!
You my dear have not missed one beat with the poetry. This is as vivid and perfect as ever.
Though it is touched by sadness, I hope you are ok?
Chat at me friend!!

I will also go see if I can find your other work as we discussed.

Hugs
Michelle
