The sun is shining in the
azure blue skies
The clouds ablaze, fairy
ships in disguise
I silently walked and
breathed a sigh
For the beautiful day made
for me to die
I slowly walked towards the
pleasant glen
When suddenly a blinding
flash, unwanted came
I was blinded and then
terrified I found out
The sky once so pleasant now
wrapped in black
Blinding flashes of lightning
darted to and fro
That in this bleakness,
they’re the only light to glow
A fright’ning presence crept
across to me
Unwanted, unneeded, terror
riding suddenly
I could not see it but I
could feel
The hairs of my body soon
stood in fear
When suddenly I felt it on my
back
Biting cold – yet mystic hot
It soon engulfed my body
whole
In paralytic embrace, so hot
yet very cold
I tried to move but my body
could not obey
It had detached itself,
control is thrown away
Piercing pain soon shot
across my legs
I clenched my teeth trying to
suppress a shout
It soon engulfed me and I
could not help
But howl to a punishment
beyond the human me
An eerie laugh boomed across
the dark
Haunting, a terror far worse
than Cerberus’ bark
Hands, stone cold then
grasped my arms
Breaking tendons as they
pulled me apart
Numbness soon came beginning
from my toes
Making them stone stiff,
unfeeling their life lost
It crept slowly, gnawing at
my thighs
To my middle heedless of my
cries
Suddenly a numb cold jolted
me in pain
As it slowly climbed to where
my heart is lain
My heart tried in vain to
keep it at bay
But it crept unstoppable,
ruthless in its way
My heart beat fast trying to
draw heat to fight
But even though it gave a
valiant fight
Sputtering and trying hard to
its last beat
It slowly slipped defiantly
in death
It was that sudden moment
that I woke up again
Perspiring, gasping, yearning
for a friendly tap
I curled myself up lying on
the grass
As I slowly cried with the
sunlight on my back
