Haunted.
Clawing at the ceiling
inches from my face
but never in my grasp.
Alas.
Crawling.
Inching ever closer.(but)
It always seems
to fade into the distance
once again.
Sadness.
Overwhelming all my senses,
grief engulfs my soul
because the world will not
fall around my ears...
Trapped.
The realm breathes
toxic vapours
and all I can do
is scratch the glass
in vain.
Author notes
You asked for image inspired.
This is.
No personal attatchments (that I can sense).

This is interesting because a few of the entrants see light of one kind or another ... this kind of gives the trapped, suffocating feel that I get. That in no way was a requirment of course because it's a matter of interpretation. Thank you for your entry.
