IISZ 2018 Challenge #8 - Fear

[Rave]

Fear

You led yourself down here
amongst the darkened reeds,
to snatch the cold immersion
and breath it into being.

Speech won't drop its flare
the corners here still crawl,
fed by outstretched hands
mute inside your mouth.

You led yourself down here
in tangled clumps of hair,
to feel the weight of mud
and dare to shape its face.

The images here are haunting. I picture a ragged form dragging themselves through mud by strands of hair. Very powerful.

Surreal 

I'm afraid 
you've got the wrong man

that your simple heart 
needs simple things
and I am a riddle 
wrapped up
in myself

that I am Dali 
dressed as Rockwell
with no palate 
to love you.

Really enjoyed this. It makes me think of every date where I wanted to get up and leave within 5 minutes of sitting down to talk.
