well, someone's got to tell them!

well, someone's got to tell them!

A Poem by Huw

The rope tightened

as she leaned forward

her breathing was laboured

and then restricted 

until it stopped

her heart continued to beat

though faintly 

until it stopped.

Is this death

she wondered?

Then came the realisation

that her mind was still active

her thoughts lived on

her fear was acute

relevant and had no sense

of relenting in any way.

Death had not been a release

as she had taken her mind

out of time and into

the eternal realm 

into which she was now held.

She soon realised 

that her terror had just begun

and would know no end…

I've been commenting on someone's drawings for a couple of months and she asked if I was a published poet. It made me laugh because I'd left school at 13 years old and never completed formal education.. more..
