[bodytext] => Lying in a sea of darkness,
Tranquillity besets my being, A pool of stillness, bequeathed by Silence shudders through my mind. It is quiet, too quiet. A place of unearthliness Replaces what once was: A night of sleepless curiosity. Vision comes and goes: Figures and shapes loom Before my withered sight. Fables: fate retwisted, to suit My haggard heart. The noiseless black time, Ripples through, rips through To the core of, ‘Normalness’. Placing me beyond drug Induced human intervention. All are drowning their sorrows In mindless slumber. Comprehension claws its way Into my soul. Places its numbing fingers Upon my spine. Whispers. Light from my mind extinguishes, When morning comes around. Eyes roll back. Whites show, like a rabid dog, People come and go; I know them not: For I sleep the slumber of the dead. ©2002 Amy Pluess [comments] => 2 [counter] => 181 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Icequeen [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
