Poem -
Umbral Retreat
Alone I think of those pervasive shadows,
and sit, in petrified awe, in that illusory fog.
This tormentor of my dreams.
Becoming lost in a kingdom full of penumbra,
a kingdom full of laconic storms,
where sunlight relentlessly overshadows
this delusory domain.
Throwing its ghost, involuntarily,
against the dreamscape.
As day reluctantly dawns
my soul involuntarily
grows silent.
Mutely hearing a twilight,
dark, hiding, receeding.
Cognizant and fleeing the cocoon,
I became submerged
into the eclipsing darkness,
awake once more,
to the austerity
of dispersing reality.

Dear Poet Sister LODIGIANA!!
The continuity of tone in this piece is handled so beautifully.... with the long 'LY' sound of words running throughout along with the long 'E' sound backing it intermittently makes this a TRUE pleasure to the ear...... great word choices my friend!!......PINNED!!......love your stuff!!.......ttyl.......T xo
So pleased that you enjoyed this one Tony! sometimes finding a way to express the feelings and images in my head are the stumbling blocks to a satisfying piece - I'm sure you know what I mean- getting halfway there but still learning my friend! Thank you so much for your encouragement and solid comments- they DO matter brother Poet !!
