Four Days
I have four days to find
fire's flavor but i'm still
spitting mire.
I want to brave this abyss,
unclip my harness and fall...
no, flow.
I picture a warm glow, the golden
ambrosia that could quell
my longing.
I peer in, fitfully predict cold slams,
so remain huddled at the rim
of irrational wishes.

I didn't mean for it to be so cryptic. I'll tell you this for nothing, though. I deliberately chose the Dark category because this is one of those times that it annoys me when another category would give too much away.
Like I'm doing now... LOL.
Thanks for stopping by, Soul.

Sometimes it is worth taking the leap. A chance we need to take.
If I am reading this right that is lol.
Great write Atakti.

Yes, M, you are reading this right! Our fears can be just as painful as the leap, yet we still hesitate.
Thank you for your thoughts.

This has left me with a lot of questions. What is this a abyss? Is this a wish? Is this want? Is this I need? Is this a person?It's got me thinking hard and that's what a good poem does. Let us know how the leap went.

I identify with this Atakti. For me dreams can be dismissed too easily, I fear myself more than my dreams, if that makes sense. (actually that sounds like I've been to one of those amped motivational speakers). Fuck it... it's a cool poem.
I really like how you challenge the reader, there is a lot to think about in each of your pieces. I even learnt what the gods eat when they get the munchies.

I love this -- not a syllable wasted --
This piece evoked Webern`s music to me --
expecially in it`s density and completeness...
