dark – Prerna's blog

I’m engulfed
in a chilling facade
Tightness in chest
and burning veins;
A deceitful warmth doth flow

Icy claws of
the dark deep
brought me hither
to pull me apart;
Secrets of the dead
they whisper

My sanity
slowly withers
Hands now impatient
to grab remnants
of a decaying soul

Phantasmal waves
of anxiety
caress the lines
of my palm
to gingerly untangle
and leave them
to fade away

Two bubbles
of sweet hope
rising to the surface,
leave me behind
as I drown in thoughts;
To breathe
is to surrender

Inside me,
two people
pulling the strings;
Breathe in death
or breathe out life

A rendezvous of
gazillion sensations
inside
A cluster of bubbles
outside
as I slowly embrace
the endless gray...
