I'm writing a few poems on dreams I've had..


Suffering Stranger

A wicked sea hurls it's waves upon the sandy shore
Salty water creeps up bodies prone upon the floor
Through slits of eyes the glare of sun shines with vengeful fire
And sets ablaze the angry turmoil shimmering like sapphire

A face with skin bronze and gold grimaces in pain
With gnashing teeth and frothing mouth tortured by the strain
A body crusted all with scars and hands raised to the sky
A heroic pose for this stranger now condemned to die...

He reaches for his chest and digs his fingers deep

Clasping ribs, clawing at bone, craving for death
Blood gushes, sinew tears, gasping for breath
exposed and naked, inside out, torn asunder
Screaming with a force akin to thunder
weeping tears, sweating fear
release is near...
