Lost In A Notion…. Poem by DEEP DARK SOUL POET

I catch a glimpse of a lost though in the mirror’s crack
If it wasn’t me I didn’t think I’d be the one looking back
It was a delusion caught in the rip of space and time
In a blinking of a notion I was caught up in the sublime


Though I can’t see I can hear and I sense the demeaning
There are no worlds in between the real and the dreaming
Except the one I live in the here and now, the one that I vow
I'm caught, trapped within a meaning that I know not how

Like smoke that swirls up and disappears into the nether
I want to travel there like I know I can but won’t ever never
I'm lost in a butterfly’s drift within the wings, a flow adrift
There is no greater relevance like a place you cannot gift

I want to be the meaning that my thoughts tell me deep within
To be devoured into a dreams dream but where is it I begin?
Like a kiss on a field of skin that doesn’t end but hasn’t a start
Hidden within a belonging you don’t own like your own heart

The worlds I live and the feelings I feel are not of here
It’s a place of never knowing what will be me, my next fear
Sunrised on a horizon that will never even exist for real
Where you left hand cannot reach for or can never feel

The visions of a place that never will be seen by eye
Wait for a place in time where you can never live or die
As the sun grows closer but moves away ever more
The moon has wishes that you won’t know or long for

There I will be waiting for a notion that I don’t survive
Knowing fully that that is how I will know I was alive
As the stars rise well above the skyline of non exist
There welcomes me a sleepless sleep that I won’t resist….
