An inky droplet of sunset spreads its oily chill through the clear pool of night
sending shuddering shivers in swelling breakers of frenetic darkness, toe to chin
Black doubt's frost, beads on quivering thorns of icy, suffocating, fright
Desperation's spectral phantoms clothed in frozen polluted shadows of what might have been
Piercing crystal slivers of frigid fear, puncture a barren plain of sterile white
Thoughts and muscles imprisoned behind ice bars of an immobilized mind
buried in burning snows of paranoia's contagious, infected bite
fantastic panic erupts from ruptured frostbitten blisters of a false portent blind

This is utterly beautiful. 💖
Thanks so much Teddy i appreciate the read and humbling comment.
You had me in Abject terror all the way through. Descriptive words that penetrate the psyche, I may sleep with the light on tonight, and periodically look under the bed. You are a force to be reckoned with my friend. Powerful stuff here!
Sorry my friend didn't mean to startle just entertain. Thanks so much for the read Bella.
Oh no, you pinched a wedding speech that someone read out for KP and me! lol.
Thanks Orchi, hopefully the jealous reader was her ex-boy friend not her parents. lol Appreciate the read and chuckle

rich in iconic imagery
reads like a serenade
to the scenic passages
in our poetic realities..
'Piercing crystal slivers of frigid fear, puncture a barren plain of sterile white'
we truth scribblers
ink, with emotionality's
shaky fingers
