Tracy Edwards Poet Free verse

The Darkness My Reality

>.<

A night of dark desire and timeless agony
A night of sorrow and everlasting fear
Once pure eyes overnight turn evil
My heart freezes as you near
So close I feel your breath on my skin
The pain and chaos you bring
Sucking life from my world
Hope from my soul
I see you in the shadows
Watching silently.

The sky i see isn't blue anymore
The grass isn't green
My world now cloaked in a dark hue
Down here in the dark
No light to show me guidance
No hope to give me ease
It come's now, the darkness
Suffocating the air
Walls creeping closer 
Blinding screams ring through my head
As mercy abandons every thought
Fear seeping through my broken soul
Inside cries of surreal pain claw my flesh 
Drowning in my own bitter tears
Knowing I am running out of time 
Bringing with it the promise of eternal nightmares
Never waking, forever dreaming, forever screaming..

>.<

Russell Sivey July 17, 2012 at 11:51 AM Wow, that is a wondrously dark write my friend! I just love the incredible nature of the blind screams of the forever screaming in your poem! I can sense the dark scenery around you, the grey sky and the overcast look of the grass and the trees, the sidewalk and the buildings all dull and gloomy...I can visualize what you see! I feel what you are describing, cause I've been there before Tracie! I hope you are just writing about it and aren't living this now! This is a beautiful write! Great Work
