The men of clay, mouths dehisce wide Voicelessly pass Arms at their sides; feet stiffly tight Perception dull No meager light softens their skull Inside my head their voices scream Nightmarish dream The words conveyed I try to hide Menacing threats infuse my ears Two bare knees Oblivion, morass of grey Lethe embraces. Here I will stay. *** May 22, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

Protected by a dyad you are lucky. As for nightmares smudge your room and bed with sage and then burn sweet grass to bring in goodness.

This poem has a mystical feel to it and the graphic, the sepia tones are a perfect compliment to your words as they feel muted and lonely, but so very cool. This piece is amazing my friend, your talent just grows and grows.

Thanks my friend. I like to weave some mythology into certain poems, only scratching the surface, just enough to give that atmosphere. Happy you like it :)
