Precipice


Darkness filled more than the sense of sight
Sounds enhanced
The echoes of night
Heartbeat raced
With the feelings of fright
An icy cold wind
With an icy cold bite

Shivers
And jitters
And a nervous laugh
A ghostly whisper
A terrifying rasp

Darkness beyond
Where the dreams come from
Hidden behind some sombre song
A euphoric cackle cut through the night
As darkness surrounded the sense of sight

    The days are creeping closer Tom… Loved your poem. ‘Darkness Beyond- where the dream comes from’… Indeed… 🙂

      It’s November now, so after next month the days will start to get longer again.
      Time keeps us on our toes, Sue, doesn’t it? 😀

    Darkness and light are both sides of the same coin, without one you cannot know the other.

    God Bless my friend: There is more truth out there than you know. 🙂 ❤

      There’s truth somewhere in there, Icewolf… sometimes, it is rather more hidden than others, but it’s there. Somewhere… 🙂
