Poem Artwork

 


I awoke and couldn't fathom anything except
that I was alive and breathing with a raspy sound
I could see nothing for darkness surrounded me


I felt cramped and confined...then realized I
couldn't move...I was about to panic, because
I  cursed out loud but heard nothing...


I screamed still nothing, but suddenly I could
move my left arm...I brought my hand up to my
face, but could not see it...I began to feel my face
and what I felt caused me to scream again...


Another silent scream that played havoc with my
insides, as did the feel of my features which seemed
to be gigantic or swollen...I felt what was supposed
to be my nose and it was like a mountain...I couldn't feel my eyes, they seemed like sunken slits...


My lips were like balloons blown up...I cried
but there were no tears...as I realized I felt like  stone pictures of an Egyptian sphinx came to mind...oh my god! what happened to me...was it an accident , a fire where was I...


Then my arm was once again at my side unable to move something impressed on me that I had been mummified and bronzed...I lie there silently laughing while tearless tears flowed and voiceless curses crowed, with profanity ..as another halloween  passed  within my insanity...


etw

quite a supernatural adventure ... lips like balloons? perhaps an allergic reaction to the Samhain's influence ...

Eileen, this caused chills to run throughout my body! Eek!! I could just feel the deformity of your face and body. As I first started to read it, I thought some foreign insect had gotten into your house and attacked you as you were asleep. I never expected the ending...it was great! This writing is full of images, creative, full of mystery, and I truly enjoyed it a lot! Hope I don't have nightmares tonight.

Wow! It sounds like a bad dream I had once. I couldn't move...tried and tried but my legs and arms had no leverage. I DID panic and woke myself up with bated moans and sighs. I refused to go back to sloeep. Guess we need to make a pack that we will never get ourselves into this situation ago. I felt the panic Sis.
Glad you're back with us!
Love,
Susan

I was pretty frightened as I read this - thinking is was a pen of a former tragedy. Thank goodness it was a halloween insanity. You had me going.

Reminds me of times when I was married. I would wake up, yet not be able to move, I hjad to relax or go back to sleep to get out of it, even though I thought I was yelling... Never happened after the split...
It seems to equate with being with the wrong person....Weird cos one time I saw a pyramid....

Top write bringing back horrific memories on ...blimey six mins into my birthday, the day she ran off..lol can you believe 13 years non stop fighting to see my son and his rights..... Nov 6th the next....
