Faceoff

Day-18, OctPoWriMo-2015







Shackled in her own   - reflection
she breathes  - freedom
freeing her soul on the wings of  -words.

Sometimes her - words
take the     - shape 
of forgotten  - dreams
sometimes they - sooth  
the burning  - lesions.

Sometimes she - weaves 
her cocoon when the -world 
goes to - sleep
building her - castle, 
in the darkness of her - soul

Sometimes she - charms 
the forlorn - hearts
when the - invisible
shadow - appears
in the realm of mistaken -identity.  

Nobody can see this - duality
hidden behind the - glinted reality.

Participating in  OctPoWriMo 2015.
