'Death By Metaphors'A Poem by InfinitelyVixeyWake up, reluctant The day is imminent Deafened by the silence there Creep out, look innocent Touch terror, stay vigilant Struck down by virulent lightning Leave the safe place Fake a brave face Startled by the nonsense there Block out traffic, be confined Defined by this odd frame of mind Whipped away by a hurricane of thought Walk in, reluctant Make a good misjudgement Drowned in the sea of words there Roulette, a threat Breathe, don’t forget Burnt by the eyes’ neglecting stares To do or not, to prove Someone will disapprove Stabbed by a startling realisation there Make one mistake For double heartbreak Sickened by the immunisation Work, reluctant Fear is subsequent Suffocated by the lack of memory there Overhear conversation Some mutated narration Strangled by the interpretation Unable to spell Daydream and dwell Lost among directional signs there Commit some antic Look a bit frantic Starved of the surrounding freedom Eat, reluctant Clumsy incident Battered with a breadstick or something there See what’s at stake Grab a sponge cake Killed by indigestion and sad movie Don’t quit the chase Fake a brave face Stuck in the heat of the desert there Don’t try, cry, glare or express The response causes more stress Buried beneath what lies within Relax, reluctant Sit down, insolent Disappeared in the visibility there Make a mess, be accused Such a mess, be confused Shot by a dodgy nerve impulse The day is retraced Mentally misplaced Strangled by binding truth there Night takes shape There’s no escape Trapped by the fence of darkness Sleep, reluctant Silent, verbal rant Engulfed by iniquity there Practice what to say Plan for the next day Comforted, momentarily © 2011 InfinitelyVixey |
