Slumberbashing In Darkness Poem by Shirley Harrison

I'm drowning in misery

I've lost hope of coming to the surface

absolutely no hope of catching my last breath

evil has achieved its final trial against me

I no longer wish to fight the dark

from here nor beyond my dreamer's quilt


i'm at a loss

why does he want me?

i'm just a quick fix

he should seek those, honored to be in his company

he should seek those who are already morally wrongful


not me


I belong in the light

with my soul pure and kind



not deep in inferno



I belong to me

I belong to I



not to anyone

on either side



After all

I have to protect my precious wings.
