Poem in Prose: Asylum

Seh Hui Leong

Writing

~ #3 ~

Running away
On a lost path
Without an end
in sight

A unknown shadow
Creeping;
An instinct
“to escape from…?”

~ #2 ~

Remembering
A distant past
with a vision
so bright

A weary soul
Limping;
Forgotten
“that I’m trying”

~ #1 ~

Approaching
The ominous shadow
with a terror
unable to subside

A frozen pair of eyes
staring;
timidly asking
“What is it”

~ #0 ~

Engulfing,
or so it seemed
Yet left nothing
in sight

A clueless soul
Trembling;
Forgetting
“….”
