Midday sunshine-
streaming rays,
Blinding mind in
false façade
It could be here-
could be today…

Gripping, stripping
feel of cringe-
death-blows
(silence)
my mind binge..

~I trip
to catch
my stumble~
hover walk
upon
discover
I splinter break
as small glass
shard to ground
Brassy metal
screeching sound…

Turn to find
flood water
in walls of mind,
Suffocation
starts at sin-
(Under now)
I sink
for swim-

catching void
~solo I fade~
inky black
fills my
disdain

~and I follow~

follow my hate…
past shallow waters
in suffocation debate…

*I've had this reoccuring premonition of dying under water...THIS is the fear part...*




Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

This was a very nice read. Bummed to hear that it is a very real concern.

I can, however, empathize. although I live on a doggone river, my end, involves a tractor trailor.

rippling
tumbling

beautiful and eerie...
i like the sun's false facade at the beginning...
challenge well met, i'd say. the verses read like you're really suffocating; having less air and fewer words coming...
an enjoyable read and a bad way to go.

it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown
