catches my peripheral view I walk down a darkened hallway It's walls are utterly askew The voices call out in the black They know my title and my game They set out to put me in shackles but my strength they shall not tame Phantom hands reach out to me Probing until I lose control Pushing them back yet bringing them closer In the end only losing my soul Sentimental virtue and pure innocence reflects off a grand crystal sphere Wanting to have them back in my possession Touching the ball, my flesh starts to sear Lost strands and uneven sands leak into an eternal abyss trying to catch them in my hands sadly the particles I miss Suck me in, I lose myself Never to see light of the sun Barely wondering what could have been When all is said and done Twirling and flashing bright color about squeezing my head into a mass pressure snaps my vertebrae It sets out to maim and harrass Echoing thoughts and wandering dream Never substantial only vague Running in circles, spinning my wheels While avoiding this horrific plague It follows me wherever I go My shadow of a nightmare given life It sets inside my mind to rot Like death, who carries a Scythe Designing hatred and invidiousness Demensions warped and array Eat away at the reality of it all The soul to dismember and decay Tempting rebellion rising fast Groutesque images in mine eye Laughing hysterically at my disgust All these things I set out to defy. To vanquish and reject my evil self I staple my shadow to the ground Subdued for now, but it can escape I shall rejoice until it is unbound. BACK TO POEMS |
