The wind

by firexdancer   Mar 19, 2007


I cannot sleep
the darkness casting shadows on the wall
they move when they think I'm not looking,
but still I dream
I cannot move
the air grows colder with the clouds
the sheets wrapping around me
but still I breathe
I cannot speak
only enough breath to stay alive
a scream echoing unheard between my teeth
but still I whisper
I cannot hear
the door is creaking with the pressure
branches snapping against the window
but still I listen
I cannot feel
the darkness as it creeps in through the cracks
th wind carresses me, so pale
but still i touch.

    This was interesting; somewhat unique. I liked the repetition of "But still I..." It was a dark poem, but with some positivity seeping through. I also really liked the imagery created.

    Nice work.
