Click hereLike a thief, it comes
Stealing joy
Stealing light
Shredding life’s fabric
Echoing through my dreams
Nightmares
Coloring existence, shades
Purple and black
Awakening
Sense of futility, bleak
Compass lost
Game lost
Penalty
Agony
Only game in town
Setting the jaw
Setting the scene
Settling the score
Upsetting the applecart
Rattling my cage
Rising again, floodwaters
Rising to the occasion
Temperature rising
Mortality’s cold hand upon my shoulder
Death’s chill running down my back
Focusing on the present
Focusing on the rose
Out of focus
Out of time
Out of my mind
Pain cascades ‘cross tremulous skin
Tremors, quakes
After-shocks
After hours
After the fact
Like a thief, lurking
Stealing the moments
Stealing the joy
Still standing
No surrender
No quarter
Grappling with mortality, dead refusal
Dead on
Dead reckoning
Kneeling to none
Unto death
Undistilled emotion wonderfully translated into word. Thank you.
