In Pain...

agonizing streaks of unbearable CRIMSON hell
ripping across the living canvas splashed with PAIN
nerve-wracking caresses in relentless rhythm
TORMENTING and dominating the helpless brain
lying motionless in a bed of nails
past the threshold of mute INDIFFERENCE
the disconsolate CRIES seeking to alleviate
the pangs of TORTURE screaming to be heard
running wild in a tireless game of hide and seek
elusive SLEEP would be a welcome treat
slipping in and out of CONSCIOUSNESS
FLIRTING outrageously with the notion of death

REBIRTH...

There was a time when darkness was a solace
And only the night can ensure the sweetest embrace
When the comfort of sleep was a welcome respite
From the memories lurking deep within my mind

There was a time life lost all its meaning
When my very existence was an excruciating pain
The unbearable days were slow and agonizing
No hope, no faith, no promises for better days remain

There was a time when giving up was the only answer
To forget and leave the all-consuming nightmare
When the lure of eternal quiet was the only solution
To a bleeding heart that lost all its will and reason

There was a time I died a humbling and poignant D-E-A-T-H
To find my way back to life in a rendezvous with B-I-R-T-H
