Translucent liquid
drips as in time to the
heartbeat of despair;
Rivers of scarlet pump
erratically in unison
within a tortured mind;
Driven to distraction,
all senses cloud reality
till exhaustion brings
comfort; Tears still in their
flow dry on the cheeks,
as the life blood
cools to normality....sanity!.

Very creative Lynne. I first saw white as I was reading..that lonely white that has no boundaries then eventually as you mentioned the blood and the tears on the face I started seeing color a little. It was like my eyes were opening and I was fading back to reality. Well done. Thank you for entering and for indulging me in this very painfully colorless excercise
