Seized

Things seize me,
like smiles in jars
and the flick
of an upturned eyelash
as it brushes
and the shush at nightime.

I wake and rise
and realise essence
surrounds me,
the winds blow south
and I mouth the words
that I will never say.

Thoughts reside
inside, alive of me
and when the shell
has long since gone,
I shall wing a wish
as time shrills,
so long ago, so long ago.

A fun poem, full of internal rhymes.

This is beautifully constructed. And it has a whimsically impishness to rival Tolkien. I love the line "I shall wing a wish". Exquisite.
