soft barbs

Truth startles you
Words I once used
Known – falling and failing
Coloured pictograms
Wandering beasts
Heartbeat by heartbeat
Cataloguing frozen things
Shaping geometrical time
Cryptic romances and feelings
Ears full. Eyes peeking.
What’s not? What’s?
Pictured images rise
Insomniac sighs
Sainted sloughed self
Intruder into life
Lurking sentience
Struggling towards dread
Mind enlarged and swollen
Body small and shrinking
Fantasy grows old
Closing around a life
Unwritten and unwitting
Wander further through
The soft barbs of friendship
The passage to solitude
Nameless and unknown

This is a beautiful piece, Celticman. There's something melodic about it that I can't quite put my finger on - I'm sure that people who have studied the structure of poetry will know what I mean and have terms at their disposal to explain what I mean.
