Color of a Phantom

Color of a Phantom

A Poem by Skelterton
"

It doesn't matter where you are

"
A ringing shell from the sea forth bringing
Beyond what a click of fire can ignite with a candlestick
Miniature clouds forever present without being

Though my percentage limits a gift for you
I walk the path entrapped inside a mud bag
As finite as one would call a terrible night

Springing questions through summer, until you fall, who's to win turning over the rock behind a backyard of ruin?

Looking back at space unattended,
I could never catch your reflection embedded
Empty echoes from each and every corner
Though everyone would oppose
The control room upstairs claims its owner

Seems life is cluttered for you, time is spent in look and learn - trying to find someone else for proof.

Missing another person and how he or she coloured/colours what is now missing. Is how it is.. even part of that person reminds you how that he/she is despereately missed and needed. Even or perhaps, essentially, the memory is more memory than presence. Sense?

This seems like an abstraction. A shadow of a movement, passing quickly and shapeshifting. A play on dimension one to two, to three, and attempts at a 4th dimension. That is where we are left reaching and interpreting- you from the control room...
