Description I walk with moonlight
when stillness creeps up the spine,
like clammy hands of an obsessed lover
brushing across his idol's flesh.

The lick of his tongue on my toes
is simply the dewy grass
pricking and poking up between my
nubby digits.

The chill is damp like his breath
trickling up my body,
unwelcome foulness - scents of
decaying meat pouring forth at my neck -
caressing sharply at my senses.

I shiver and goosebumps rise on my exposed skin -
merely bubbles surfacing on a placid lake.

Burning wrists feel raw against the cool water.
Tight gasps clog my lungs.
I fight the memory of him,
fight the confused rage of why.

His heavy body pinning

His mouth roaming

His gleaming eyes before-

STOP! PLEASE STOP!
HELP ME! PLEASE!


Staggering legs collapse beneath me,
water engulfs my mind and
all is paused, suspended in time.

I cradle my knees in the true serene -
the amniotic sounds beneath the surface
are a lullaby my mother sang to me.

Raising my head, I stand,
let the water wash away the scars,
the pain.

A memory remains...

But it will never live again.

Excuse me while I silence yet another advertisement about how fish oils can have a fishy aftertaste...

Sadvertisements   Not a big fan of some unsuspecting perky voice trying to sell me something fishy at chill oh clock   
So I got the impression of your rape theme by stanza 3, but your metaphors hold strong on their own regardless. Your goosebumps surfacing on a placid lake, and your dewy grass escape, stood out to me most. As a reader I feel violated before your memories return to save me. Especially coming from reflection opposed to some reality of your own, I wouldn't have known otherwise. There shouldn't be such time between writings like this. Hope to see more from you soon

Lol, thank you! I'll see what I can do about writing more often. It seems that I have an increasing amount of things to do these days and not enough brain power to do all of them.

Are you like me, where every microscopic particle and its neighbor's dog does everything in its power to distract your writing flow, then you're free to be alone, and...


I've got nothing?
