Deadly Sanctuary

Silently, the years go by. Secretly you start to die. Unknown even to yourself. You weren't so safe up on that shelf. Sooner or later things do change. Inside you start to feel so strange. You cannot seem to shake the feeling. You realize this time there's no healing. Your dreams begin to fade forever. As you understand the twelfth of never. But hope lives strong enough today. To give you strength to make your way. A mystic mayhem made the rules. With no regard for a game of fools. Unfair advantage to call your bluff. It decides when enough's enough.

not in a very cheerful mood, are you? at least your creative spirit is thriving, robert. this is really good - i love the "twelfth of never" reference and also the "mystic mayhem" - very cool!

Hi ilene, I feel the need to give a little insight to this one. It's about radon. I've had this respiratory problem for a while. Started making me wonder if it couldn't be caused by that. Hope this poem makes more sense now.
