The tunnel,
Stretching to the far darkness,
A funnel
Of dreaming
Filled with flames that burns endless
My screaming
And old fear
Feeds the fire of this place
That will sear
Out my eyes
And char all soft flesh to waste,
Without cries
I walk the flames to darkness.

Professor,

I walk the flames and pressure of heat and sparkle like a diamond is what I prefer to think..

But, since you write gloomy, I accept this terrific poem....and suspect you've captured more than one person's nightmare...no not mine...I lived mine...hope that'll count...smiling here - I enjoy your talent....

Warmest regards, Pat

..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..

my dreams
are of my past
always trying
to catch up to me
a second time
wanting to cling
and hold me back...

If only scissors worked,
I would cut the connection.

I enjoyed this because it is so familiar to me. I am always being pulled, by some power I don't understand, to someone else's fire. When will I see the flames from afar?
