Do You Dare?

...a different kind of poem...a different kind of poem....a different kind of poem....a different kind of poem...a different kind of poem....

There's only death here;

there's only pain.

Why are you looking

among the insane?

They are just the shadows,

lurking in the shallows;

nothing but your friends,

wanting to reach new ends.

They want to meet you sooner;

they want to be your tuner.

They just want to lend

a helpful hand to send.

There's nothing hopeful;

there's nothing bright.

Why do you look in

the dark for light?

They just want to follow,

flying like a swallow.

Reaching for tomorrow,

filling you with sorrow.

They just want to talk to

and eventually walk you

up the road of thought

where memories are shot.

There's only chaos;

there's only harm.

Why do you cower

and look alarmed?

Why are you now crying?

Surely, you're not dying.

Why, then, are you weeping?

Pain has begun sleeping;

you are free from its grasp.

Why, then, do you now gasp?

What do you see behind you?

What do you see that you knew?

These are the people;

this is the place.

What will you do when

they touch your face?

Surely, they will not harm you;

surely, they would not dare.

Surely, they will not scare you;

surely, they touch your hair,

but never meant to harm you,

and never meant to scare.

Whenever they touch you,

think of it as a dare.

Do you dare to follow?

Do you dare to meet?

Do you dare to follow

walking memory street?

Dante: Very creative - great flow, wonderful questions; thinking of heaven or a lost ghost; you pulled me in with all the questions and yes it thought provoking...lots to ponder. Also like the way you tie it in with memories; that could be heaven or hell in its own right. Very good writing. Clever. Thank you very much. Like this different indeed. Dale
