Unfamiliar Ceiling

By GreekPhilosopher

Darkness from the corner
Seeps its way past my eye
Corroding all reason
Like a corona in the sky

As each sound slowly dies
I am comforted by the notion
That each empty space is replaced
By another second, identical in motion

But for now in this moment
Sitting here with this feeling
In this moment with you
Starring at this unfamiliar ceiling.

***For The Time That I Spent, Not Wasted.***

"sparagmos" i hope that translates right...it should...The sparagmos of a moment into the bare necessity of it...The simplicity...too cool...

There are two poets on this site that do this to me. Something I can't decribe. I allways read your poems around 5 times with breaks after, with little thought. It is the way I read your works.

I know a deep feeling and meaning is going to hit me eventualy and I trust you as a poet. I read with a dark trust when I read you, because I know you are going to screw me over in some way but I never know how.
