Slow Death

By thespin

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Bodies move about like phantoms in the mist.Hundreds, thousands, row upon row, list upon list.Voices echoing through the valleys of my mind.reverberanting, reverberating-be kind-be kind.A blanket of stillness.The creaking of another bed.As a new victim to it's altar is led.Faceless masks, Nameless names.on the four poster they sacrifice all for their aims.A nightmare world of outstretched hands,lingering legs,soft thighs,released sighs, and a thousands goodbyes.It's a slow and welcome death.Drowning in a sea of warm melting flesh.I wrote this one when I was very young. I know the poem shifts. I don't know if that is good or bad. comment please. Written October 22nd, 2001 © on Oct 22 2001 08:14 AM PST   0 • 8
