57
By Lethie
A work inspired by 75
I am here
can you see me, Hear me
I stand amongst the reed of
day
I see you amongst the darkness
Trapped in a box of flame
I knew you once...
In a nightmare
Your
body stiff and un-movable
held inplace only by the strong light surronding
you
I wondered then if you where dangerous
wrapped in robes of
red, blood against your burnished skin
I wanted to touch you, to feel
that simple warmth
Our lips met
I was devoured
from inside
out I melted
My heart once again began to beat
If only i could
escape you
During the time when dreams are dead
I
find myself comtemplating you
my dirty little secret
I covet
it holding it close
Unsure of the reason for it
Mercy?
Harm?
To these I can only utter a whispered no
I wonder do you think
of me
My demon of day
I find my self begging for one
thing...
Another Nightmare ...please

I have to agree with DD, I could feel the want in this one to the point where it made me ache.. Thank you for your poem.

Wow. I read this and then I read 75 (the work that inspired it) and was impressed how flawlessly these two pieces complimented one another. Reminds me of that movie with Madonna 'Desperately Seeking Susan' where two people carried on an "affair" through the classifieds. Cool. -Draven
