Susan Gentry Poet Rhyme

Surrender Or Die

A miasma of memories… nights in solitude
Spiraling perdition… shadows intrude
Underlying trepidation… behind vacant eyes
A journey interrupted… by pathetic lies

Abysmal human flaw… egregiously depraved
Disguised in shining armor… sanity unsaved
A heart deeply damaged… no diastolic rhythm
A skeleton of tragedy… a diabolic victim

Psychopathic vengeance... brainwashed auras
Sinister and lurking… trapped in night horrors
Phantom turbulence … cause unknown
Screaming nightmares… voice is your own 

Thuds of heavy footsteps… following behind  
Dreadful premonitions… racing in your mind
Full body tremors… demons dance nearby
Destruction of a lost soul... surrender or die

James Inman August 6, 2016 at 1:21 PM A wonderful write. Fighting for self control is the most difficult battle I have fought in my life. Mostly I have won the fight with only occasional lost battles. I believe humans in general want to be "good" but too often lose their way.
