God Knows Where I Am-'Lost In Phantom Night'

Walking corridors of derailed delusions
I welcome my created confined confusions
For I am lost in phantom night...

I dance with demons deploying death
Desirous destruction of my life’s last breath
Consciously cocooned manic moonlight...

A bipolar bliss within tangled time
Waiting for a savior of an angels chime
For I am lost in phantom night...

Secluded silences in a whirlpool of winter
My starving soul soaked in a lachrymal linger
Tormented tears taking fatalistic flight...

Only God knows where I am
Devoured by lions this gentle lamb
Farewell to this nefarious night...

WW-Your take on this was cleverly poetic, your use of assonance and alliteration helped pull the feeling together.

Indeed "lost" is the best description of this tragic true event. It breaks the heart to know it truly happened because of an illness that couldn't be silenced. What a gifted pen you have. Well done !

You're not lost, my warrior friend, just entangled in a web of fantastic alliteration. God always knows where each of us can be found. Hang on...I'm coming after you. This is written so very well.

^WW^, I have bipolar type 3 or cyclothymia (Rapid) And even I can't describe as well as your beautiful pen! I simply have to fav this write, my friend! (It is the psychotic episodes that are both frightening and fantastic in one) Very hard to explain! Thank you for this!

Thank you dear friend...I'm very sorry to hear about your condition...but I guess we all have skeletons in our closets...my ex-wife was somewhere between bipolar and schizophrenic...so I have a little experience about it but no real solution...especially around the late 70's early 80's...very little help then...sadly it cost us our marriage...it was very troubling to see a young child trapped inside an adult body...so now I understand a bit...take care Wolfie...^WW^
