    Metaphysical Nightmare
    Whispers, images, flashes
    Haunting
    Deep waters move rapidly

    Dream or memory
    Confusion
    Fevered imagination plotting

    Insanity beckons
    Looming
    Shadows of reality or shades of imagination

    Frame after frame
    Clicking
    Taunts fast and clear

    Screaming conscience
    Shrill
    Mind mirrors shatter

    Shards fall
    Cutting
    Tearing the delicate foundation

    Death breathes close
    Stop!
    It does

Who is this rare Ram daughter, this embellished soul that I so want to hold? She is daring and bold. Oh! I want to shield her from the cold. I'm a humanitarian, not a barbarian. My independent lady is a Black American. I, myself, am a proud African. I'm original and at times even comical, but this unique rose has captured my heart w

    A wonderful, nearly avant-garde, piece of creative expression brought to its readers with perfect delivery. "Tearing the delicate foundation" — such a poetic line!

    I liked the meter of this poem. Stark and powerful. Almost haikulike. A string of pearls. Good job. Thanks!
