Darkness

I was in a slightly melancholy mood this morning when I woke up and these first couple of lines came to me.  I haven't written a poem in quite some time, a couple of years I'd even venture to say.  But this is what I came up with today.  Enjoy.

My world of darkness

Soundless screams struggle

Against the muted mouth

Helpless hands fight

Against the restraints

Being pushed underneath

Drowning gasping for air

The blackness takes over

No more screams

No more struggle

Darkness

It is over now
