There's something nameless in the night that shapes a nightmare from my dream it shreds my soul, takes trust from sight I have no mouth, yet I must scream There's something vile, within the dark that calls me to embrace my end it pierces peace, tears me apart asks me to call, this darkness friend There's something hidden in the night that slithers, softly cross the floor it rends, is rank, takes great delight in spreading plague, within its spore And in the dark of helpless weep the feeling grows of horror near, it calls - I hear, keeps me from sleep and teaches me to trust in fear I struggle vainly breathing in this death that draws me to its side the something dark within my skin has come to stay, with me abide There's something fearful in the dark no name has it - but terror stark Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

Wow..........SOOOOO good! *shiver runs up her spine* One line..."teaches me to trust in fear"...gave me little cold shocks up my spine....oo-oo-ooh. Wonderful, amazing poem. Reminds me of somethign I can't quite pinpoint...oh well, that's just the way my memory works. Only active when I don't need it. Blessed Be!

Eeeeuuu...this is so scary I've got shivers up the back of my neck... What a tremendous write, Kethry... I am leaving my light on tonight! I just re-read the poem and it can be taken in more than one way, and so am revising what I have to say...which is nothing more, for the poem speaks for itself.... Hugs and Warm regards, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. "Desiderata" [This message has been edited by regards2you (11-08-2002 08:13 PM).] |

Keth beloved heart, oh you wretch darling heart, how can you scare me witless. So art thou coming over here to stand guard to stop the wicked ones breaking into my room? Art thou coming to ward my windows, and spread light through the darkness? Art thou? I bet thou art not…….. in fact I’d lay a pony on it, if I could get odds on such a sure bet, which I couldn’t. See beloved heart you’re leading me into the paths of darkness now, gambling and spirits, keep up darling heart You know I love it utterly utterly spine-chillingly well written, as always beloved heart you have done this exquisitely  Love and warm stuff as always Slushy   Breathe through the heat of our desire Thy coolness and they balm Let sense be dumb let flesh retire Speak through the earthquake wind and fire [This message has been edited by Marsha (11-08-2002 08:57 PM).] |

Steph, I'm glad you have the chills it means the poem is effective Pat, thanks for the stand alone comment and the other. Mushy, I'm sending garlic to ward anything else would be pointless Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

 (jumps at edge of seat) Oh Kethry, this gave me goosebumps reading this, and that is great because it shows how wonderful your poetry touches us all! (big hugggsssssss) This is powerfully eerie, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kethry, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Keth beloved heart Ohhhhhhhh it is, is it? All I get is an offer of garlic, when you’ve led me into the paths of darkness……… me to whom sin is unknown. Shhh, that rumour is totally unfounded, nothing has been proved and it won’t be There’s things out there and all I get is a bit of garlic, not even a whole clove either, this looks as if someone has chewed it, and don’t tell me there’s nothing wrong with it. I know for certain someone has been chewing it, I can see teeth marks. Good grief darling heart, what is to become of me? If you find me in the gutter with my feet stuck in the air I’ll blame you. Quite you, I heard you muttering about me finding my own level   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Noah, I know I'm late for halloween. I told my muse to hurry and it didn't Marsha, as long as you are not going straight to heaven with your legs in the air- oh wait that's a GOOD thing! The garlic will keep the bloodsuckers from devouring you. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
