Dancing by knife point

by Mr. Darcy   Oct 3, 2017


.

In between elastic ticks,

Night time contorts this bed.

Smouldering its wicked wick,

On endless razor thread. . .

Manic curls a thinning smile,

Night's where he likes to dance;

It's death by breath, so salty vile. . .

Awake. . . I weep, upon his Lance.

.

.

Note: This is an acrostic form.

    Mr Darcy has seemingly come back with a huge bang here he talks of the woes an insomniac goes through with such sass I'm sure many of us could have written it but I for one could not have written it better if I'd have tried. This resonates with my being a suffered myself and most likely many others here and I reckon it's because we're all creative and thoughts just go round and round our heads until we put pen to paper or in some cases fingers to keys
