Sam Toil Poet Free verse

A Horror

i lay searching  
the night-grain nothingness. 
discharged from the world.
still, It comes.

oozing through undefined space
in fire-grinning simplicity.
humming like steel .
It beckons.
and i am ready.

but It has long been in place --
this....dying
as all men die --
slowly,
by suffocation.

yet,
the black streaks 
violet and orange.
you stir.
your untainted eyes open.

hold me 
precious wife
in the world 
a while longer.

Skat A April 13, 2014 at 8:02 PM Hi Sam, I hope she made you feel the comfort you needed. I imagine the feeling of death and nothingness, are horrifying. Excellent poem. SKAT Sam Toil April 13, 2014 at 9:51 PM Yes Skat, its like when you have nightmares all night long and at dawn when you awake and you look at your lover all the nightmares go away. There is so much comfort in that feeling. So simple. So powerful. Thank you for taking the time to get your head into my poem....Sam
