When I close my eyes,
I see it all.

I see my deepest desires,
drawn from my core,
phantasmal a line
and ferried by blood,
borne and etched to abyssal ink.

I see the memories I’ve sought,
the stories I’ve to live—
They sleep in sweet camaraderie,
beckoning to me.

I see the tenderness of dark
be swept away in blinks,
I see the amid the blackened puddle
a reflection watching me.

My listless gaze cedes to its shell,
and imprints those dreams
onto forlorn retinas.

The outlines of desire like
a blot of searing sun
pasted to my peripheral,

and a dreaming machine
running low on ink.

OMG THE CLOSING LINES. I love that, as well as the entirety of the darkly-themed diction of the poem.

Alright by the way, stunning imageries - my favs in particular is the deepest desires stanza, and the listless gaze stanza. I think it's probably the grounded, solid diction here that gives this poem power. It has clarity and dreamlike quality balanced together.

It took me a bit of a reread to figure that what I thought was quite a hopeful envisioning of one's own dreams was actually watching one's dreams pass by in sadness. Vibe-wise, it evokes a bittersweet feeling. It's well done I love this NoizeLoves
