it comes (for la belle's challenge)

it comes as a thief in the night,
stealing sleep from my exhausted body.

it comes and strikes me down once more,
lightning dances along overamped nerves.

it comes as a gift i didn't ask for,
oh, God, i beg you, please take it away!

it comes as a wave, pulling me under,
i can't swim, i'm caught in its undertow.

it comes, it's an all consuming fire,
 will my skin char and blacken from the heat?

it comes in and i am forced to bow down,
this master i wish i could disobey.

it comes as a black hole, i am sucked in,
my soul is devoured by the darkness.

it comes in as a heat sensing missile,
when it detonates, i cease to exist.

it comes, it pounces with little warning,
i am at the mercy of its hunger.

it comes and i'm trapped--i cannot escape,
i am forced to endure its punishment.

it comes in as a raging thunderstorm.
all i can do is wait for it to pass.

it comes, o no, God, here it comes again,
the horror, something wicked this way comes!


(The emotion is PAIN)

Wonderful writing Karla...great entry to
the challenge...I also thought it most
interesting how you refer to pain as
a gift...I guess I had better start thinking
that way...maybe it won't hurt so much...
bless you...floria

I guess I won't try to top that action, girl, you are the queen of pain writes! I get it so little, other than migranes or sinus headaches that I feel so small in relation to what you have or have gotten, any pain is bad, no matter where or why...Peace thru Painfree Living, Ed & Rufuz
