So . . .

I wrap this skin that burns,
with a void beyond perception
as I inhale each moment,
second by second,
hunting for the silent infinite.
Trapped within words,
unborn memory in a seashell:
"I once was eternal."

Please tell me what you think

    "void beyond perception"
    So poignant and full of meaning.
    "inhale each moment"
    What a unique way to use the word inhale.
    "unborn memory in a seashell"
    Great metaphor. More than great--it's so image-provoking and it also sounds really poetic.

    I love how the first and last sentences both begin with "I".

    I enjoyed this. I don't know that I know exactly what it is about, however a lot of varying and powerful images flashed in brain as I slowly read it, and for that I love it!

    It almost seems like a lament, although a peaceful and serene one. I love the ending, it just seems very powerful. Good job.
