Especially Now

Pale Reflection of the Color of Life
Clear Vision of Evaded Memories
Time is Unstoppable when it does not seem to Move
Love is Painful when it Cares the most
Hopeless Decisions feed the Pain...Especially Now

A Dark Night caters to the Conscience
New feelings that must be Old
Restlessly waiting for Nothing to change
Informed of the Unawareness
Darkness surrounds this Light...Especially Now

Fading thoughts of Dark Years
Close friend Far away
Quiet screaming invades the Noise
Desperation is Unheard
The Night goes on and The Edge bears laughter...Especially now 

- an abstract write of an abstract evening

I reckon this is one of your best writes, Chris. It is very expressive and you manage to draw us into your abstract feelings and situations. ~ Regards // paul

I find the use of capitol letters throughout the write to be effective in emphasizing these words. Love the line, "Time is Unstoppable when it does not seem to Move" and your phrasal juxtaposition of normally contradictory ideas.

I enjoyed this "abstract write" Did you really experience such an evening?

Why yes, I have experienced a few of these nights in my life so far...so only thing for me to do is write about it.

Your very expressive words capture the desolate feel just marvelously. The title, your "abstract" note at the end, is excellent writing all around. I know this theme well..great job! bundles of blessings, lynn
