A Trespass Into the Abyss

eyes meet, the intimate adore face to face, lips gently brush desire delivered in the click of a lock hands clutched around your neck the shock, the tightening hold a gripping strength, a slow squeeze the mind dazed, the hunt to breathe hardwired impulse, the raw surging force reaching, touching, clawing a hands grip the steadfast capture, enforcing an iron reap the heat and hiss of a monster, slices in your ear tears fall for God’s wretched care dry upon your cheek, the final kiss the silent suffocation, an impression so sincere pain defends the will to see and breathe clear aware adorns the eyes, in pictures of reminisce the danger of your kiss, the pace in your violent embrace the power of your stare, hands fast on my neck viselike is the hold, so I can feel reborn to stand on the furthest edge and trespass into the abyss planted deep, thriving sweet growing, entangled in a reach extending into many more beneath a shallow surface there is no abyss, I am the abyss the abyss resides inside me flourishing in the darkness Terry D'Arcy-Ryan

Everything I write is inspired by my own experiences. My mind is free to use words that stir up an accurate emotion. I carefully choose words that are relate able and visual so the reader may empathize or find their own interpretation. I am not morbid. However, I am real about how it feels to be confused after being near death and controlled by violence. Thank you for taking the time to read and review

There is always hope with God --- your thinking is too worldly, of the flesh, besides --- morbid is the mind which wrote this one....

Tears fall for gods wretched care .... a turning point of this poem as the victim has no power to change what is being done to her, there is nothing to reach for or nothing can change her fate. " Tears fall for God's wretched care " The power behind words, gives the victim sympathy, it implies there is no hope, and it also tells how grave the situation. The reader may intemperate a word or phrase in many ways depending on the imagery it inspires. I don't get, how you don't get the poetics buddy .... Sheer Terror
