Mirrored reflections of the past haunt me;
tormenting my mind, lingering behind,
decisions of the past come back full force.
There is no escape from the stormy seas now.
Trembling through the waves of justice's halls,
I sink to the depths of the dark abyss.
Tidal waves struggle to pull me back in;
I fight to stay atop the foamy scum.
Released, I stood on the sweet, sandy shores...
I admired his beauty, felt his kiss;
only to find his teasing leading me...
leading me through the empty caves within.
Loching me in his jaws, the monster rules;
is there now no hope of swimming to safety.

This is great. I love the vivid images your writing brings to mind. "I fight to stay atop the foamy scum."
I've wracked my brain for years to come up with a phrase that describes that...well done. Thanks for the entry.

Good
This is a very good piece. I really can relate to the haunting reflections of the past. I also liked how you turned the kiss into a monster locking you in his jaws. Wonderful description.
