Time changes illuminated within a vortex mind bending, heart pounding, knees shaking mirrored images twirling breaking, crystalline shards whose pointed tips rip through my skin - beginning to end. Ominous rainbow with color so bold it blindeth the eye and pierces the soul iridescent coal... blackest of white or whitest of black am I purging forward or am I falling back? Thinnest of dense touch it were gone slipped... through the fingers of images strong. The taste in my pores as it bites through my tongue hot molten sulfur stench compared to none.  A penetrating numbness now fills my very being and I step aside to hear what my third eye is seeing... Broken reflections from back and beyond are moving fast forward amazing the speed!  yet in snail like increments learning doth proceed...a piece of the puzzle is now taking form who is this child so battered so torn? My arms will embrace her... I'll hold her just right... Calm and protect her from the phantom of her night. Written February 28th, 2002 © on Feb 28 2002 12:50 AM PST   18 • 0 • 1
