    Ravishing Correspondence
    Lost in the velvet folds of sleep
    his sweet, tormented voice came to me
    and I frolicked in the hushing lullaby
    listening and losing myself
    in the merciless caress of his laugh

    With every crashing wave of insult
    he whispered death into my soul
    searching for my sweet release

    Scalding tears fell from my hollow eyes
    and my poignant struggles ceased
    groping his sorrow in the depths of the Dark

    I swam through a delicious haze of sensation
    a cacophony of slippery and evanescence lyricism
    and shivered in the breeze containing his absence.

    Looming near, but still absent - your words always create feelings of unease that somehow have an ironic play of becoming soothing as the words form pictures from the sinistral side of the brain - the logic is of fictional intent .... or is it??! 10

    BD, Words well-chosen and well taken.I appreciate words like, velvet, haze,cacophony, scalding tears, and lullaby is always a sensation when used metaphorically. Excellent! ginga

    Your juxtaposition of words is challenging to me. I don't find that a "tormented voice" can lead to frolicking ".. in the hushing lullaby" Your rythym however is good

    I thank you for your comment. However my style of darkness is to allow the reader to see that if you never see or feel the light then sooner or later you will appreciate the dark and learn to enjoy every part of it. And yes, I do frolick in the hushing lullabies of tormented voices.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
