On the Edge

By evangelina

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Slipping in with drinks of poison of fantasy and remains     of a lifeless soul when the darkness overcomes my weary body     does nothing but tear me down even further   and chaos brews in the midnight colors of the bruises         that cause my mind to wander in the brink of the edges of the blade that cannot leave me alone. Dripping with the memories and yet   filling the caress of the sharp air of breath     that seeps into my nerves and fills my lungs with a coldness that brings life into the dulled         process of my thoughts.                 Lovely                   Beauty               Darkness                   and yet I can feel the light playfulness         of the razors around the edges of the flattened earth             that stands still beneath my feet.you know, that 'other' side Written March 27th, 2002 © on Mar 27 2002 06:31 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
