Plummet
perched upon the ledge
a head full of
venomous imperturbation
The subdued coryphee
wails within her head
banging cobwebbed boxes
along the corridors of
her mind...
Futile memories shoved up inside
soot and shadows
prove still destructible
to her
even with time..
daybreak overshadows the sky
eyelids sink shut
arms spread wide
flailing as though
caught under ocean tide..
Wind caught hair
thunderous roar
sky is not the ocean
and pavement not the shore...

This is really pretty, I like the visual I get from it and the last two lines are amazing.
"sky is not the ocean
and pavement not the shore..."
That's very beautiful. I love that line alot. It has so much meaning and depth behind it. And it just made me feel like I actually was there, like this feeling was my own as well.
A simply lovely poem.
