The Horror 

Who knows what horrors

slither and slice

through the mental realms 

in anyone’s life.

Haunting recollections

of bleedings galore

and painful regressions

into images of gore.

Compelling obsessions

in projects and text.

Wide eyed in the dark

fearing what’s next.

Heart pounding loud.

A line chopped fine.

A chance to transform

into the sublime

and overcome at last

the fear and horror within

and welcome the new

with a demented grin.
