Prisms with intellect <br />Wary of the water <br />Enticing the past more than I care to explain <br />A scene unhinged <br />Severed from history and empty promises <br /> <br />Clouded by uncertainty <br />Cherish the fate with a loss of sight <br />Fallen upon the mediocrity of a carpet ride <br />Shallow yet so deep <br />My mind is the culprit for levitation <br />My fantasy dances like a pantomime threaded puppet entincing brokeness <br /> <br />Smile lines worn without a conscience or pride <br />Lines shown as scars that bled the fifth and turned to grey <br />Each scar I bear sings <br />I say more by saying nothing at all... <br /> <br />Tryst the enticing past with the unhindered future <br />Then you'll know what I mean when I say <br />I've gained the world, but have NOTHING! ! !<br /><br />Mikel Calcagno<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gained-the-world-but-have-nothing/
