[You Can't Escape]

My seas are deeper than you can ever imagine

in the garish light of day you still can't envision

how deep the waters go beneath your soul

I fathom in technicolor and drag you to the bottom

from the top of your crown, til you're on your knees,

my power of persuasion will haunt your psyche

like an amused cat with a mouse, I'll toy with you

 inject myself under your skin like a festering toxin

I'm the spirit of sleep that never comes 

in your hour of pain when you seek peace

blink in your head, I'll disperse your bones

I'll take you from the ones you love

twist your mindset til it's crippled

no one can rescue your sanity

I'll remind you of your broken promises

desolate in your forsaken tidings

there'll be no catching your breath,

wreaking havoc, I will force your hand,

you'll be stripped naked to the core

altered thought patterns my forte,

vociferous that one of us is crazy

I hold the power of your deliberation

ever sagacious, I'll never leave your side

I am your mistress of unscrupulous tenet

no way to be saved from my embrace

my torturous grasp is burrowed in deep

entangled within guts and heartstrings

you can't escape me, you're  mine

I am RELENTLESS....

You promise? :)

This is so cool, like I was watching a movie or something. Definitely worth the wait. This piece pulls you in by the hiar and drags you through each and every line. Your eyes can't close for there is too much to see, your mouth gapes at what is presented and your body is as restless as your heartbeat. Very cool.

[Frieda P]

If my poetry is dragging you by the hair I've done my job. ;-P

[Jack...]

[shallimarRose]

This is very powerful.. I have a difficult time commenting on negativity and darkness at this time when I am trying to keep my own head above water.. I do see your read requests, thank you.. I am looking for uplifting, I am looking for things to help me come out of my own darkness.. This is a well written piece. I just thought I should tell you why I am not commenting on many of the things I am reading here..
huggs, shallimarRose

[InsanityWriter]

This is great. :) You're such an amazing writer!! Amazing work.

[Frieda P]

Oh thanks so much Insanity, much appreciate your review. :-)

[khalid]

i dont think he would think of scaping...who would be in paradise and tries to get out of it?

[Frieda P]

Thanks khalid, crazier things have happened, no?

[khalid]

unfortunately, yes..

[Coyote Poetry]

I like the movie Silent Hills. The good music gave life to the poem. Silent Hill is best scary movie in a while. I like your poem. The strong description create good vision and thoughts. Good to fall into mystery and fear. Thank you for the excellent poem.

[Frieda P]

I've never seen the movie actually, just needed some freaky music, thanks John.

[Michael G.]

Here I am, trying desperately to catch up from all that I've missed. In the background as I began this, Hans Zimmer's main theme to "Crimson Tide" starts.
Already subconsciously going down into the depths, you pull me deeper and deeper, until I'm at such a depth implosion or submission could be my only choices. Well written that has challenged and succeeded in becoming a victorious winner. And like the sea, relentless.

[Frieda P]

Why didn't I think of that, great music, would have been perfect Michael, thanks so much.

[ChervenkovaM]

Dark and very good :) It makes you feel and see everything that's written and I think that's a very important thing about poetry and writing in general!
You've conveyed the mood really well and I especially like the choice of words in this poem! Keep up the good work :)

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much for your visit and review upon my page.
Much appreciated. :-)

[KeeD]

Oh this music, i love it and I love the game!
This is a terrifying poem of me being the victim and enjoying it!
I can feel you beat those drums on my skull and all I'm thinking is don't stop.
Like a succubus I can lust this poem for all eternity.

[Frieda P]

You would enjoy it Kee! Figures...lol watch out, eternity lasts a long, long time, not sure you'd want to stuck here. ;-)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this seems to be written from the perspective of the muse...and she is relentless, that is true...

when we are married to the muse, she will never let us go...she won't let us have a moment to ourselves...a bit of sleep...she is in our dreams, she is there when we are awake...she has control.

[Frieda P]

thanks jacob, I very much like your thoughts here.

[AYVID N]

The writing is on the wall and so clear in red. Awesome determination and very rightly placed. Let him know, that if he plays with fire, he better accept to be scathed too and learn to live with the aftermath...! Not fading away anywhere, Frieda, and this is just the right and great poem to let them know!

Applause!

[Frieda P]

Thrilled you enjoyed this one Divya, thanks so much dear friend! x

[AYVID N]

Of course I did Frieda! This is a subject close to my heart as are the feelings expressed here. I am tempted to write a review running into pages, but dont want you to run miles next time you see me.... :)

[eglantine]

Ok, first, this is my favorite title of yours because the brackets really make it stand out, not just because they are brackets but because of the meaning the add to the words enclosed within them. "technicolor" is a wonderful word you used.

Not sure if I like the altered variations of font...

Thanks for sharing!

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much eglantine, I thought twice about that too, but I wanted it to have a slightly uneasy feel to it...still not sure about it.
