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

  • A former member wrote: 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
