PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am falling a mile a minute
the abyss growing far deeper
But I see something within it
It seams the walls are shrinking closer
Mode not of slate, granite or stone
The appear to be moving
but each part on its own
I can feel my head reeling
My arms and legs flail at will
When will the decent end?
Where will my insides spill?
Somehow I missed it at first
from somewhere comes the faintest sound
A malicious hint of laughter
leading me to look around
In the midst of it all I am frozen
suspended, trapped in time
Vices holding me in this place
Lost without reason or rhyme
Something like hands twist in the dark
contorting to a truer form
As my mind fills with confusion
I realize this is outside the norm
The poke and prod my skin
With cackles mouths appear
eyes, noses, faces they form
there taunting filling my ear
Tears well up within me
fear fills the depth of my heart
They pull me this way and that
the contradictions tear me apart
The looks they give disgust me
grotesque images embedded in my mind
I search for a savior, a rescue
but in the darkness it is hard to find
I believe I am lost forever
until a light grows brighter
I hear soft whispers forming
the restraints in this hole growing tighter
I can feel someone there, waiting
Save me, I choke out the words
My body fights to be free
my voice hoarse and unheard
I know someone is close now
Carefully I open my eyes
with safe arms wrapped around me
the terror I felt disguised
The nightmare I have so often
Seaming far past real to me
I have escaped for the moment
for now I am free
