Clairvoyance of Insomnia

Every night, Down this road I walk, Clairvoyant in perpetual insomnia, Pencil etches of truth and fantasy, Criss-cross my vision, Fourteen cups of 5am coffee, Still no closer to reality, A solitary car passes me, Like consciousness, Through my net like mind, It escapes me, Streetlights of piteous constraint, Revealing nothing more, Yet revel in what they supposedly divulge, Like pretentious picture frames Puddles coat the road in truth, Like any other mirror, Mocking, Criticising the insecure, Haunting the Vain, Yet my only friend, Hides the false and only speaks fact The joy of truth, Revealed from a fragile mind, Solitude.

You placed me right in the scene of this mysterious and despairing hitchhiker. "Puddles coat the road in truth, like any other mirror, mocking ..." ... "fourteen cups of 5am coffee still no closer to reality" ... ingenious wordplay and excellent phrasing. Thanks for your participation. Check out my blog and tell me about your poem :)

Rohan,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@"

I love dreams and interpretations of them. I have dabbled a little in this and yours is just for you... I walked with you in that dreaming trying to feel and sense what you saw and felt and truly it is for you. It is a deep nostalgic message for certain. Nicely done, thanks for taking us there with you...
