MIND'S EYE

Illusion?

Huge unpigmented space

there I am, on my feet

exactly at the center

elevated my mind up to the sky

questioning the color existence

.

Colossal humans, caught my vision

crooked face, twisting physique they had

alarming my wits

ran away from that sight, I

stuck on that infinite milky chamber

.

warm position, knees up to chest

like that of fetus

dreaming about you a sudden irritation

emerging from somewhere in the torso

forehead wrinkled, pupils peeked

.

This feeling of self-absence

Who is within me?

Who am I?

Who was I couple minutes in the past?

cerebrum tarnishes

.

I see a figure, still

at the edge of my door

I remember, I closed it beforehand

Is that you mom?

No, it’s shorter and scrawny

.

It’s very foggy to visualize

I see, she’s staring right at me

but I see no eyes

Oh! She has no face

but I know she’s SHE

hair resembling

.

Very cautiously I gaze

A blink, door’s close, no woman

dim comprehension of the present state

What was that?

A dream within a dream;

Poe crosses my mind

.

Took a glance around, a second time

Yes, this is reality; nobody is here

except my loud fastened heartbeat

and the fiddly silence

much of the same as initiation

.

After several positions swapped

eventually slid earpiece from underneath the pillow

realized I was in extreme depth

Radiohead was what creeping in my soul

Tumultuous

    This is pretty fascinating. I love the dense and restless imagery as the mind gets lost in its own labyrinth. Can you tell me more about your stanza structure in this one too?
