My eyes can't block the bright,
I squint into the blinding white.
They slowly adjust,
I'm a speck of black dust.
In my dreams I must be,
But never this much light do I see.
A wicked sense of foreboding,
On my nerves is slowly eroding.
Through this world of white nothing,
I strain my eyes to try and see something.
When my eyes are met by a blank stare,
Of a pair of pupils out of nowhere.
They gaze back at me with steady, eerie grace,
Now thoroughly chilled, I feel out of place.
My hair stands on end,
As my mental reality unwillingly bends.
The eyes move toward me without breaking connection,
In a trance, I quiver at their sharp reflection.
I feel the wind of movement across my chest,
And then a sensation of being touched against my breast.
The black moons of the pupils wane,
Softness of a woman? It's driving me insane.
And now against my neck a pressure,
Overwhelmed, I scream; unable to keep myself together.
The silence rings in my ears,
Deep within me, the eyes now peer.
And now, the beating of a heart resounds,
It pulses through like my own, but not; I found.
The eyes pulled away from me,
Blood stained lips, I now could see.
I stumble back in toxic shock,
Within her now imprisoned, I was locked.
The white began to go away,
The blood covered and revealed her feminine display.
Turning blood, muscle, skin;
Vomiting forth; the questions within.
Full and complete, a human being,
Nothing prepared me for what I was seeing.
Now, she looks at me again,
As though beckoning, off comes my skin.
Apart; all my organs and bodily systems,
Dissected slavery, beautifully gruesome.
Only one things for sure,
I am now becoming one of her.
Won't wake up, on I sleep,
This time, I'm in too deep.
Now my color puddles on the ground,
Into it I sink, vibrantly being drowned.
It's up to her to save my soul,
As I'm sucked toward the engulfing black hole.
Down she dives, reaching out for my life,
Accepting her gratitude, my now eternal wife.
Fleeing, the darkness out of sight,
Purged I am, now, perfectly white.

wow this is the best I've read all day. I love how you stringed the poem together at the end. my favorite line was "accepting my gratitude, now my eternal wife."
I also love that line because eternal can mean true love, s forever state and not wanting to let go.
As well as " purged i am, now, perfectly white"
very good write.
