Dimness clouds awareness <br />Concealing groping eyes <br />From registering any truth <br />That’s been smothered by it <br /> <br />What a miserable attempt <br />To have guilt ridden conscious <br />And ageless instinct <br />Be consoled by lies <br /> <br />With pleading desperation <br />Pursued by a fear <br />Only to silently surrender <br />To conjured images <br /> <br />Lost in a dazed trance <br />And hypnotic rhythm <br />Can we ever awaken <br />From the solitary comforts <br />Of our minds?<br /><br />Pondering Portrait<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/solitary-comfort/
