Poem Title:
Poem
I was completely helpless to the crushing weight of my eyes being closed shut as the creeping darkness slowly cascaded its claws up and down my limp body. Images flooded my mind fogging my sense of reality. A woman stood with her back facing me at the end of a strange street. The bottom of her white ankle length dress rippled across her legs as the icy wind flowed through the street. Her curly red hair reached the long of her back and it too danced in the wind. Numerous branches from willow trees outlined the sides of the streets forcing me in only one direction: straight. The light from the moon started flickering like an old street lamp heaving out the remainder of its energy. I looked up at the sky and saw the crescent moon grow dimmer. The mysterious woman turned her head to the side and snapped her fingers- darkness. I cocked my head frantically in every direction trying to find anything but darkness. Footsteps approached me. I threw my hands in front of myself trying to feel for any way out. Nowhere to run. A cry of frustration escaped my lips as no escape route showed itself. Something sharp sliced at my arm. I could hear the blood splatter on the cold ground. My cries of pain filled in the silence. My heart pounded in my ears and my nails dug into my palms trying to control my hysteria. Suddenly several sets of long grimy fingers grabbed at every inch of my body. A hand covered my mouth to muffle my screams. Another hand grabbed at my nose- suffocating me. Nausea creeped its way into my stomach. A spell of dizziness caused my legs to quiver and give up. I shut my eyes and thought of a place where joy replaced fear. Silence filled the air again, I hesitantly opened my eyes. A new scene slowly revealed itself as my eyes pried open. Continued onto another post- "Sleep Part 2"....
