Stranded in the caverns of darkness
I am convulsed with fears
And confounded by delusions
Apparitions enter unlocking the doors
With razor sharp canine teeth gnawing into my neck
Brilliant. Fear described in wonderful imagery. Apparitions enter unlocking the door...wow. Very sensory images to make fear palpable. A sure 10.
A mere coincidence.Last night I had a terrible dream.When waked up I did not know if I was a human being, or who I was.I discovered I could hardly breathe through the nose and the mouth was closed...Your poem paints the scene I was in.
You have really hit the bull's eye with this one.. The best part of this poem is the short length of it.. It makes the idea very clear.. A beautiful take on fear Valsa ma'am.. Thank you.. : -)
Incredible verse, Valsa. Indeed, fear works in a way that makes one feel utterly claustrophobic. Fear is indeed a stalker. This goes to myfavourites.
Fear in mind creates unusual delusion that appears to mind as apparitions. You have so nicely and astuty inscribed this theme with a attractive beginning like..... Stranded in the caverns of darkness I am convulsed with fears... A brilliant poem in concise.
Most of the fears are evil creation of our own minds. Heart may help us to remove the fear.
The piece is a witty reflection on a bunch of sinister shadows without substance - that's fear. An insightful poem, very realistic descriptions. Thanks for sharing Valsa..
