Night Terrors

Thomas W Case



In my night
terror,
I hear the pounding
of
your wings, ripping and
tearing
at my feeble heart.
It's beating,
but
barely,
bomb-blasted by your
attack.
your love is like
a stroke;
like a bloated toad.
I'm road weary,
teary-eyed like a
sunflower.
And you scream in
the darkness like
a lamb.

I long to cum in
you.
I'm like dentures
chewed on by a stray dog;
teeth missing,
jagged like a
jack-o-lantern.

Damage control is
your best bet.
I let you way too
far in.
No turning back now.
I'm like a dumb
cow led to slaughter.

I'm miles away.
You're on a
different
island.

    Alienation expressed in stark terms of pain. I can feel the aloneness and desperation. Nicely done

    Wonderfully woven
    a dynamite write! ๐Ÿงจ
    Great use of metaphor;
    mesmerizing imagery,
    and to read a delight! ๐Ÿ‘
