Chronic Pink

~~Chronic Pink~~ 
(Parents Peril * The Nightmare)


Evil sits and whispers - sweet lullabies
Chimes within my head,
Damnation scratches at my conscious
Of what was and is!

ASLEEP……………….

Water runs down my toes
Rain taps at my windowpane
A fear; I relive my childhood days
~~Dark April showers bring in a chronic look~~
Motions before daybreak, to face a colorless what!


The trickle of musty wind meshes under my skin
The panic begins to initiate the voices
Unstable - a gash of blood fills the mind

SLEEPWALKING……………….

Dark feelings pollute the inside my head
Visions of slitting my wrist from end to end
My  subconscious betrays my sanity
Praying is what got me through the dark-mares.
I held my own hand that very night
Telling myself it would be all right

Suddenly!

MY EYES OPEN WIDE……………….

Walking down the narrow hall
The Chimes, the Chimes!
Snapped into a moment of crime
The trail of Sweet lullabies came from my parent's room 
Shhh!!! Hush now, *humming to the evil chant*
Whispers of dust whisk through the air
I grab the envelope opener, 
My heart pumps, piercing each neck
One by one, they look up -IT WAS ME-
A demonic child’s laughter erupts
A Chronic Pink look

Pacing off the bed
What have I done?

Cries of nothing led me back into my room.
There and only there, water sits under the sheets
The emptiness in my head was the sign of complete
Falling asleep to the quietness around the room
Waking up to, the parents peril sight every night

My subconscious holds no sympathy
To: relive the same chronic pink memory
AGAIN- I begin to hear the sound of scratching violins
Where dreams of demons wear pink

Linda, I don't pretend to understand everything here because there is so much depth that I doubt anyone could grasp everything on first reading. "I held my own hand that very night. Telling myself it would be all right." Amazingly powerful! Deep and dark...full of pain and fear...but strength. Wow! CTB

Reading this once again made me conclude that your writes are perfect pieces for delivery/declamation competitions my sisie-pooh! Deep emotions and feelings are expressed by the deliverer catching so much attention and amazing every spectators! Great, great work from my greatest poet! Salute! I think mine is ok (dramatic mono/verse, still sceptical :))) but not yet as tremendous as this. Well, tying out my first time... thank you so much for the knowledge. Love always, LG
