The point of no return

0 posted 2004-11-15 08:22 PM

I'm watching blood dripping to the floor,
streaming from my nose,
from my mouth,
my eyes...
no.

Wait,
Those are tears.
Pooling and mixing,
grotesque amalgamation.
wondering when it started
must have been a while,
but I'm hypontized,
mesmerized

look
watch them
See them fall
symmetrical
perfect

Sliding down
Pouring and streaming
Never stoppin, not once,
not that I'm paying attention
I don't know where it's coming from,
it's a miracle it's there at all,
Adding some color to the room.
Break the maddeningly grey
monotony of my prison
only way I can.
Drip by drop.

*I was really just toying with presentation here.*

I just have to give you credit
for using "grotesque amalgamation"
in a poem. This is a first.
And I absolutely love how the poem
actually forms those droplets of blood.
Oh wait, I mean tears.

Great!

Thanks ^_^ I couldn't think of a word that had the right number of syllables. I wanted to use mingling but it didn't work, and amalgamation was the only thing I could come up with...
