Great Escape

Graveyard of thoughts awakening Reminiscent in shadows of yesteryear Elusive like these dreams tempting me As if i were to follow them through their enigma Towards the echoes of night's faint beat Every pulse moves you closer to me Shadowing the existence of mind's thoughts Compiling them from your soul's lyric Amidst the whispered words of this arcana Prompting me to follow in the abyss of sleep Escaping these dreams i no longer foresee *acrostic & anacrostic

I really like this poem even though it has a slight sadness to it, and if one reads it bottom to top it reads pretty good as well

Sandra this is brilliant not only that it's an acrostic but the body, or should I say corpse, itself. I'm a great lover of poe, so I'm sure he is pulling on the coffin string attached to the bell to let people know he wants dug up and to meet you lol. Thank you and how your mind works Sandra.
