shell-shocked topaz eyes
shifting rapidly
back and forth
terror driven
body sweating
pulse rapidly beating
heart pounding
an airless room closing in
floors rising
as windows pulsate
unable to breath
overwhelming panic
stop! feel it! know it!
evil is at the door
a foul, insidious chameleon
baited with
medicinal peace of mind
no! don't let it in
save yourself!
... redeem your soul
bottled serenities
colorful, tasty treats
oh so inviting
smoothly, silkily
sliding down your throat
a biting bitter taste
lips licked greedily
in anticipation of
sweet oblivion
“yes, come to me!”
oh blessed sleep
sedation at last
a final silence of
black fears
letting go as
negative energies
now homeless
hungrily slither forth
hunting, scenting ...
... a new innocent
