Premium Member Diminuendo

Forever looms omnipresent in my numbed mind,
ominous warning of what yet may come.
                          Your life stolen
                            too young, too soon.

Dreams that this nightmare will recede from pervading
and murmuring through my subconscious thoughts.
Spools of selfish sorrow escape my psyche,
descending to darkest nights, unrequited longing.

        Does my caress transit your wraith
        as naught but cold, misty umbra?

                          I succumb to
                            deliquium.

The Invisible

(An unanswerableQuestion)
Dedicated to those who have been suffering from fits in my Country

Invisible, bound to dwell in a separate dim world of strange things, 
Why possess human beings transforming them into ghosts and prisons 
Where Strange games of fits, deliquium, howling images of black cats 
And owls daily govern exposing to hallucinations, nakedness and death?
