Blackness

Blackness… I’m afraid I can feel it, so dense It knows me… it holds me As it to keep me in suspense Where am I? I’m terrified, my throat is dry I can feel it… The blackness rubbing against me It loves me… it wants me I feel it’s hungry “Hello?” “Any body there?” I can hear some It’s near, I swear “OK! The jokes over,” “It’s not funny any more.” “You win, I give in,” “Just open the door” “Hello?” “Oh! God” The screaming Now I’m really scared It’s piercing, Increasing With every breath Oh! God make it stop I’m on my knees I’m blocking my ears It gets louder, make it stop please!!! Uuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I’m burning, I’m on fire I can feel every desire Amplifying Agonising Stabbing me like hot wires The blackness is biting Chunks out of me I cannot stop it. I can’t see it It consuming my body I see pictures, of people I cursed and hate The wrongs I did I cannot right, it’s too late. Uuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I’m burning, I’m on fire I can feel every desire Amplifying Agonising Stabbing me like hot wires Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Back to this great write again. Now really? Van Gogh chopped off his ear bc he had end stage syphilis and was deranged about a prostitute. ha ha. His head was not too big. It was his burdensome heart full of remorse that was too big! Smiles! Gwendolenl

Hi Sidney! Ouch, this sounds scarey. Now you got me thinking of all the things I'd done wrong.:( Shame on you! (joking), shame on me! (not joking). An eerie, but most probably accurate description of Hades. Thanks for sharing, Sidney! Wishing you and yours the best! Mikki

This is SPECTACULAR-depicting hades or living in the Bronyx. lol. My favorite lines are where u say the joke is over now open up the door...and referring to the blackness being hungry. Sounds like evil to me! This would be so nicely recited at a cafe-style poety reading! Gert could read it for you on his travels thru Germany. A new fav! Gwendolen
