    I lie on my dull azure floor,
    Staring into my pure white ceiling.
    A glance is stolen towards the door;
    Something outside it stirs a smoldering feeling.
    Disconnection.

    A unifing vortex of seggregation and conformity,
    Swallows the initial nature of spirituality.
    A lacerating sensation of isolation, intrudes deep.
    There are no tears left to weep.
    Fatigue.

    Born into this bewildering existance to live;
    Unable to perceive the underlying fib.
    Die or let die, shed this weakness.
    Crawl away from this crippling affliction; witness:
    Addiction.

    Desire for a sacred reformation, eventually broken;
    Primitive tendency surpasses all logical intervention.
    Conquered yet not purged, the grudge appears;
    Fabricated by compulsory desires, spiraling into fear.
    Dillusion.

    Word count = 112; 28 words per stanza. (*Note*: the Fibacci Spiral, a mathmateical pattern, is related to the "Golden Mean Spiral;" the pattern is: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8... add the previous number on to the present one and you get the next number.)

    Written with a mere 2 hours of sleep somewhere among over 72 hours of insomnia. You see, 7, is an uncanny number in my life. 3 days; each one, I stared at the clock at 7 A.M. If your a math wizz or something, you probably already made the connection by now: 7^3 = 343. That is, 7 * 7 * 7; 7 * 7 = 49, 49 * 7 = 343. I wasn't fully aware of this significance at the time I gave the poem a title.

    Anyway, I'm rambling; I'd appreciate feedback, positive or negative.

    Ocean- I really liked the third stanza....definatley rad!...good work:)

    "Born into this bewildering existance to live;
    Unable to perceive the underlying fib.
    Die or let die, shed this weakness.
    Crawl away from this crippling affliction; witness:
    Addiction."

    Thanks Tye; it was my favourite too. The rhyme scheme in that particular stanza is unique.
