Darkness

A heavy darkness suppresses
her as she falls
through empty coils of time..
memories rush by,
echoes of life itself,
desperately trying to grasp onto
the slippery
brink of her mind.

Darkness

Less of a poem than a short burst of pain. Just an anxious little ditty.

    A cool piece for an anxious little ditty! Feels like a real loss of control of situations! I really like it!

    MissK, wonderful. VERY VERY tense. You can feel the tension in the words in your lines. A “last dance” perhaps for someone who may be at the edge of reality. Great poem. Love it. (as usual….bowing down to you)

    Damian..thankyou kindly. I was sure no-one would respond to this one and yet you were quick to. You’re a sweetheart :)

    My T babes…thankyou girlies…I loves you.

    Pepper…yes, when I wrote this..and when I read it back..I picture myself on the edge of a cliff..not really in much control over whether I fall or take a step back and save myself.

    Demon…thankyou kindly. I think it’s a constant struggle but her mind is still in tact :)

    That is a great poem… you should put a picture with it to sell it

    Thankyou David!
    I am not a photographer at all but I did used to like to sketch and paint and create ..though I never considered I had a talent for that either. But I am thinking of getting back into it and combining the poetry with visual art.
    I also have a few friends who have offered to create art for some of my writing so I will hopefully have some up soon. Thanks again for the feedback..I really appreciate it.

    Brink of her mind. I can relate to that.

    the slippery brink of her mind ... I hear ya.
    MissKristy, I hope the “short bursts of pain” are few and far between.
    Very expressive: I like it :)

    It is only recently that I have been able to understand just what the slippery brink of my mind might feel like…
