Illumined
Quiet
Phosphorescent
A cold illumination
burning just beneath the surface
Still waters with shining eyes
This tiny cavern holding secrets
A grave of flying things which never found their way out
and nowhere else to go
Crowded, confounded
Beating heads and wings against jagged ceiling rocks
Tearing both to tatters until they meet the surface
and sink to where there's just enough light to die by

Fucking A, that's it!!! Indifference! This piece has been haunting me and it came after a terrible nightmare where I was drowning in crystal clear glowing waters! Indifference! That's the feeling that it is. Fuck's sake, why couldn't I see that?! It's my own damn work! Yes, my indifference toward life has been eating me alive lately. Thank you J. I don't know what I can give you but I owe you. Now to do something positive with the realization...

Good to see you back, Madman!!
powerful piece of thought evoking stuff.
mostly thinking what are you writing about, i had an image of some nature doc about some great battle between two animals.
i especially liked the second and third stanza, the first was o.k except for that long word.
anyhoo
great stuff.

'Back' is subjective. I stopped producing that's why I disappeared. For me it's hard to consider oneself part of something if I'm not contributing to it. But that's always been my downfall. Thank you for the read and comment/compliment, they mean a lot. Oh and Eamonn, big words are good for the brain.

Miserable perfection. Very artistic, the last line spun around my head and squeezed the last little piece of inspiration out, it's good. Well done.

This is brilliant stuff.
Such vice like grip and such power.
'A grave of flying things which never found their way out
and nowhere else to go..'
and
'and sink to where there's just enough light to die by..'
gave me the chills.
I am definitely coming for more.
Awe,
Sumeet
p.s-Please write more. Despite the odds.
