Phasma Phasmatis / Dormio / (In Limbo)

 

Sleeping in a wreath of exquisite flowers 

I part my ways with the most beautiful ghost

A phantom that had been stagnant by my side

And diffused through me like a withering host. 

Finally I've created a mirage of passionate engagements

Without the false representation of a magnetic love

The paradox of being alive takes the form of flesh 

And its plethora of deceit rains from above. 

The plight of my ambitions can only be captured 

By the flash of a camera who's lens have been fractured. 

A partially designated soul will fade though transcendence

The same way my lonely apparition had slipped pass the threshold

And the mistrust given by such a vilified spirt 

Well be the same as the lies that the phantoms flesh told. 

Finally I've been given the chance to fade out indecision 

And the ghosts of my past endeavours will fall in limbo 

But no matter how much I erase the winters that transpired 

Fate will always send my phantom back through my window. 

When the clock falls through midnight I'll be heaved from my wreath

And left barren in a silk bed filled with high tides and dead leaves...

The past is a pantom you'll never be rid of...no matter what you erase, it draws itself back in again...

[Celestial Witch Child]

Awesome as always. No suggestions for this piece. I also love the music videos you put at the end of most of your poems. It gives kind of a different feel to it.
