Feasting upon your soiled mind. Perspiration furrows the brow. Madness barely contained. Ghastly images dance before your eyes. Voices taunting from within. Tingles run down your spine. Your hair stands and crawls along your skin. Senses enheightened. Your heart quickening it's pace. Hyperventilating. Gasping every breath. Face to face with the true meaning of madness. It's cloak of darkness suffocating. Overtaking; You. Copyright, 1999 by: KdW |

Beautfully written...so well written...leaves me speachless...yet a question stands in my mind What IS the true meaning of madness? "Dreams are not a reality, no matter how much we wish"-TanAngel |

I certainly remember this one....and I still love it. Your imagery in this piece is wonderful. And your portrayel of a creeping madness is chilling! Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. -Edgar Allen Poe |

Wonderful portrayl here.. madness is the dark cloak slowly creeping up on one. Wonderful imagery, great!!! Good work May the world hug you today, With it's warmth and love. I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart, That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world, Wishing you well and wishing you love...... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

Kim this is excellent..I could see my breath while reading it..lol perfect dark chilling imagery take care, jm Now for me some words come easy But I know that they don't mean that much Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch You never knew what I loved in you I don't know what you loved in me Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be jackson browne |

Starrgazer - thank you! (Honestly, this is tame in my dark poetry... ) I feel I can not post some of my dark writing here because it is to graphic and/or you'd all REALLY wonder about me. LOL! (But True) Aiden Kelly, Thank you so very much! I felt when I wrote this that those lines really were strong in this piece. The rest almost feels like fluff around them. Kim |

Absolutely wonderful Kim! I'm speechless really...I've been there many times before but I don't think I've ever seen it portrayed in a way as great as this.

great use of words to convey images. jannel "I'm just saying that we've mistaken one for thousands of words, and for that mistake I've caused you such pain that I damn that word." -10000 Maniacs "Jezebel" |
