"If..."

“If” is just one of those words….
The ones in which the possibilities are endless
“If I could….
….I would”
tends to be the general statement made,
or something along the lines of ,
“If I had….
Then I would….”
Sometimes it goes like,
“If I did….
Then it that would be…”
But here’s a new one,
One felt vividly by all the chambers of the heart,
but for once, left to paralyze
and remain unspoken on the tongue:
“If I wasn’t so afraid of landing in the fieriest pits of hell
Then I would crawl into a corner
and just await for Stillness to overtake me
In the Morbid Game
That most people refer to as Life…”

Wake Up

Wake Up.
The Shocking Cold greets you with icy humor,
a sharp contrast to the inviting warmth of The Bed.
But before you know it
The Dangerous Chill has wrapped its freezing tentacles
constricting Mind, Body, Spirit, and Soul
Wake Up.
The tears dripping in an inundation at the cheeks,
despite the fact of the Dreamless Unconscious.
Wake Up.
Heart throbbing and heavy,
senses awry,
Turbulent Mind in turmoil,
confounded by every day surroundings.
Wake Up.
Defenseless and lethargic,
numbed but suffering every puncture of Ruthless Anguish.
Wake Up.
No Spark. No Energy. No Life.
No More.
