Authors Note: Author's question to the masses.... Which character's perspective do you think this is from?
darkness
madness
swirling, whirling
demons of night
night punctuated by stabs of pain
blood slowly drips
trickles
splatters
as nails claw at me
tearing away the
smooth, black velvet comfort
of denial
enshrouding me

naked
burning
bright, piercing demons of day
pulling, tearing
me still
i cannot remain
in isolation
disconsolate bliss
content in misery
welcoming the
numb, white satin sanctuary
of loneliness
encircling me

chasing
relentless
persistent, pestering
demons of remembrance
awake, asleep
never letting me escape
every thought
every glimpse
every confrontation
reopens the wounds
blazing, cauterizing orange embers
of fire
consuming me

safety
warmth
radiant, redeeming angels of life
life illuminated by
souls entwined
tears slowly drip
trickle
splatter
as hands caress me
and i finally acknowledge
calming, reassuring blue eternity
of love
surrounding us
