Pain brandished sword-like is touched to crystal portals arcing a tone high and long a prelude to misery. Light hits the blade, so bright as to blind and sicken Temples cringe in anticipation of the slice Foundation tightens awaiting the first blow Darkness is begged Silence so revered any price asked is gladly paid. Avoiding rain is all important it crumbles the walls still, it drips with fairy-like fragility in spite of the closed windows The gates solidify and groan crushing the hinges inward until the pickets of the fence will surely crack A dull edge gnaws over and over in horrid agony while hours crawl by, leeching into days until finally the small blue and yellow boats arrive in the moat to battle then kill the invisible wielder of the gashed and battered blade a flag is raised via breaths of relief free from Pain. ...and her crown was formed by the ice in her eyes |

Interesting extended metaphor...the relief from pain is sometimes so subtle you don't notice it's gone..but then there is the pain that, once it leaves, you can feel the relief settling around you like a cloak... I could feel that relief through this.. well done hon  K |

Thank you, your Highness  This is my interpretation of the migraine headaches that sometimes slap me sideways for 3 or 4 days. I suppose I finally get enough of those small blue and yellow boats to float down my throat until they take effect  Truly, they are horrible headaches. I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy, if I had any enemies. Huggles to you Miss K.!! |
