perfect symmetry
interrupted by shadows
of time and decay
sitting in darkness
my eyes open
not knowing the future
all that remains is light
seeping through illusions
of repetition and pattern
spilling into my view
through silent corridors
my name written on its walls
Bump!
I would image it is time to chose which poem I feel seems to fulfill the photo.
Dark Muse
I felt your poem described very well what one who lives in an asylum may feel.
Pendragon
Your poem does describe quite well the enormous and terrible feeling of the image and I liked how you used the door as an escape.
YesNo
A very positive view of this image. I liked how you saw it through different eyes. Well done.
cacian
I liked the flow of your poem. Good job.
Melaine
"perfect symmetry

I liked this verse and thought it did a good job of capturing the mood of the image.
It is hard to pick a winner as I think each one of you are winners and all write so very well.
OK....I choose Dark Muse for this one.
Thank you very much. When I saw the picture, the first thing that popped into my head was an abandoned Asylum. (Of course that is what I would think of) I will have a new picture soon.
Ok, here is your next photo

My way out
A glimmer of hope is visible through my eyes.
A way out of the darkness, a way out of the lies.
I’ve grabbed my stuff, ready to go.
But where I’m going, I don’t know.
Away from all this fear and dread.
Away from all the things unsaid.
To run away from all my woe,
I plan to take the road of crow.
The only thing I see ahead
Is peace and quiet in my head.
Don’t stop me now, I’m almost there.
It’s time to end my great despair.

Black and white and one way out.
You take it and don't think about
Some safer path that might be there.
While we see monsters everywhere
It's not that dark. For you, it's bright.
Those monsters fear you day or night.
Terrific photo.
Alright, here's my entry. It's one of my first, so don't throw food. :)
An apple is only as fair as it’s skin
Men say
And men only as good as their mien
‘Tis a pity then that serendipity has
Has you roaming through the dark.
With your mind full of pleasure and a skin with a grin
Hair with merriment
Lips which kiss
Eyes that the holy see
What a mishap then that this mishappened
Where a roaring mass of rampant men
Would have squabbled ceaselessly
About the colors they would employ
the curses they would spree
And now we only see
as a black apple
your many supposed colours wandering through the dark
your many supposed virtues undefined
Woe is me and
woe is you
- Roo
A girl shaped space
Since you left,
You're not everywhere,
Not in the street, not on the stair,
Others cannot see,
The swing of your hips,
The shine of your hair,
And walk straight past,
Your girl shaped space.
But I stop and stare,
I catch your evanescence on the air,
I see you not there, and there,
I see the space you've left,
Everywhere.
Eternity
from downtown insanity
to uptown eternity,
no package nor baggage
through a narrow passage
will enter the gates
of paradise...
only you
so simplify, let go
temptations to spend, forego
one can admire it
but needn't own it
and what's saved can be
gifted to...
help others
She faces the steps of black and white
Wondering if that is all there is of life
Shouldn't things be shades of gray?
Shouldn't one be free to chose their own way?
They say to her that the way to the top is these stairs
But she sees beyond the prejudice and indignant stares
If the stairs of black and white are the only way
She straightens her shoulders, turns, and walks away
Pendragon
way out it says
high up
is wake.
another
take on
life awaits.
or so to sake
its path
a lady makes
a walk up
jake.
out of the
fake
and onto
the light
the journey
faiths
a better date.
While heels clap and click
over edges moonlit
garnished by the late-hour allure
ascent lulls her each step
Fidelity's Silhouette
and tonight her escape is assured
bump :)
