I grow cold with fear
An undeniable panic sets in
Gripping,
Squeezing tightly
Hoping to take my very last breath,
Tauntingly…
Allowing me a gasp of air
A momentary relief from the pain I feel
Mocking me,
With it’s veiled cloak of contempt,
My oppressor holds me in check
Tormenting me
Instituting a reign of terror
Dominating…
Bringing me to my knees
Sneering
Its mouth open wide
Jeering from the hollow
Depths of hell
This malevolent ghost
Infiltrates my soul,
Terrorizing my sensibilities
Instilling within
A sense of unworthiness,
A desire to quell my passion
Forcing open the flood gates
Bringing raging torrents to the fore.
But I will never concede defeat
My tenacity and forbearance
Will guide You home to me.

Good for you, Girl! I find your verses very powerful. I need to listen to your advice particularly right now. Thank you, Elga. Love and peace to you. Regis
Strength is given to those who endure the most pain, as this poem illustrates most eloquently, if we falter but refuse to be brought down into the pit...

As usual, Elga, some strong and vivid poetry, accented by a most lovely graphic!
That, BTW, is a picture of one of my ponds. No, not literally. But my 'tiny fountain' pond is built like that, with the same kind of stream water cascade.
Dear readers, this is my third book of poems, and inside are a special collection of what have turned out to be not only MY personal favorites, but also the favorites of many of YOU. Some of these have never been available in print before...
