Where have you gone?
In the flicker of an eye
with the batting of un mascared titian lashes
you pulled the floor out from under ~~
solid trust; fraternal, eternal bonds
Like a mystic carpet ride
I tried not to fly off into abysmal space
without trace or place
to hold on...
my body shakes
gut knots
temples pound
words fumble
fall out from speechless tongue
faltered mind stumbles
Who is this!
Gripped in one moment
of narrow lip-service
you flipped me off
sent me tumbling
reeling in to di mensions
of multiple dystrophic cacophony
worlds of words collide
eyes dangle from sockets
mangled heart stops
like a marionette
without puppeteer
foundering...
I gasp ~~~
Is this a night tremor
an hallucination
on an un digested bit
of terror I once called
Be loved!

It left me speechless and was a bit sad in nature. You did an awesome form here and I like the way you spaced out the bottom of it for emphasis. You pulled it off very well. Your imagery and metaphors are nicely done. Thanks for the read.

It
It left me aghast, very painful but true descriptions, these things happen in civilised society and ink its existence, very well penned acount on terror.
Best wishes,
Mou
