SmileA Poem by Mohammed Mansoor Al-Raisi
Lost again.
Where am I? Can the radar pinpoint me or am I just too far out of reach? Uncontrollable descent, slowly falling into the unknown. Distortion, something is amiss. Trying to grab a hold, but I can't stop it. I feel my mind slowly unravelling, the breathtaking sensation of being crushed under this pressure is numbing. My body weakens as I sink deeper and the more I resist the worse the pain gets. A sudden hit crushes my chest, this odd sharp shock pummels into my chest and punctures it. S**t, I'm done for, it's all over. I wait for the blood to start gushing out but nothing happens. Instead I feel my heart throbbing endlessly, with every beat it swells up, I can feel my throat being crushed by my heart. I'm suffocating, I can't breathe. The lack of oxygen starts to mess up my already putty brain further. Hallucinations in the form of visions distort my thinking. I start to see a scene, a house, my house, it feels like home. Who's that inside? Who's in my house? The door slowly opens, the throbbing, the breathlessness and swelling instantly return. I am petrified by what I see. You again? How did you find the door so easily? Why is it only you that can see past the mask? How is your smile doing all this to me. © 2014 Mohammed Mansoor Al-Raisi |
