Rows of sweet smelling brightly lit candles around us, Soaked in a red vine ocean, we drink and make merry and i toast to you, my lovely friend the ground rumbles beneath us a giant hole opens up to swallow us and frantic, i turn to you for help, secure of the fact that you wont desert me but you are gone only a snake lies before me, its hissing tongue sharp and pointed, intimidating doom at this scarecrow, Its ugly features register no emotion as it hits the snake repeatedly on the head diluting the vine with dark red blood and the candles topple over and the hungry flames roar, waiting waiting to devour more... |

Kaile, Nightmarish images for sure! These images jump out at you and leave an unsettling feeling (it is only a bad dream, it is only a bad dream). There! I feel better already! Graphic images congered up here! Dennis :^) Moonbeams radiate When the veiling cloud has passed Playful shadows dance Dennis L. White :^) |

kaile--The images indeed are very vivid. Wonderful write. Poeminister "...no single sound too rude upon thy slumber shall intrude, Our thoughts, our souls- O God above! In every deed shall mingle, love." -Poe |

Kaile, do you mean vine as in grapevines or wine as in red wine?? I know what you mean here. Underneath these metaphors, I think you're talking about how you become as 'dirty' and 'bad' as the next person just to prevent yourself from being 'eaten alive' by him. Don't worry about it though, coz this is just a form of defence mechanism that most of us will build up to prevent harm from coming to ourselves. We're human afterall. _,,,^.^,,,_ |
