The Far Side of Pain

`The Far Side of Pain

 

 

The vortex of pain does have a bottom.

True, after you reach oblivion,

skin shredded, bloody,

and lying in a pool of anguish,

there comes a calm,

a realization you have been reduced,

and relief is found

in the jab of a needle

filled with a dark liquid,

the harbinger of death.

But first comes the vistas; a

field of Bluebells and Poppies,

a mountain stream with ice

cold waters of Winter’s snow,

and a forest of green.

It’s a dream veil that turns

into nightmares

of being buried alive

while wide awake

unable to move

or scream (mouth a silent scream).
