Paradise

it's too far from my grasp

My thoughts have crumbled into a maelstrom of twisted metal

Poisoned, deteriorating slowly,

Yet your image prevails above all

The image of paradise, freedom

Physically, it lies a few steps away from me

But it is merely an illusion

Testing my cleverness

Seeing if I will once again, fall for it's delightful mirage

Yet this illusion has become a sweet melody

One that cannot leave my impenetrable head

Life has now disparaged me

Jested and questioned at my motives

Stabbed me in the back with a dull rapier

My rapport with myself has indulged itself in failure

Sweeping me away from the few steps away from paradise

Free, yet imprisoned once again

I enjoyed reading this and I love your choice in vocabulary. You did a nice job.

[Shhhh]

Thank you once again! :D It really means a lot! I've been trying to improve my free verse poetry with this one. :)
