Houdini's Greatest Escape

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Securely bound within these the shackles of darkness!? Submerged aneath their versions mirky waters Swirling inside merely moments, left afore drowning.... Consciousness slipping away as thoughts of life Drift through his mind this, colophons final touch Highlighting every link and lock; preludes amid the depths Houdini.... Frantically trying to eclipse their finalities fate As the price of eternity, stands and waits?! Angels, watching and gazing as he attempts this great escape ~ Memories rising in truisms reflections; mirrors etching A promise as holding tightly, tomorrows crystal breath.... Tricklings of hope ascending beyond the vague waters Within forevers passing; visions, dancing before his eyes These shadows marked in poetic justice but, for whom!? Gray clouds of bleak gathering the mirthless mired Taunting and mocking and biting their lips this gnashing.... Ironies echoing as light now infiltrates nights spillway; a voice “You Are a child of Mine and, I Am, the breath of life” ~ Lifting his head as messengers of death wince at His calling?! Sprinklings in precious blood, racing through the still currents Swallowing these fetters once framed; Spirits of the black plague.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ....“Houdini's, Greatest Escape” ~
