Abject Terror

An inky droplet of sunset spreads its oily chill through the clear pool of night

sending shuddering shivers in swelling breakers of frenetic darkness, toe to chin

Black doubt's frost, beads on quivering thorns of icy, suffocating, fright

Desperation's spectral phantoms clothed in frozen polluted shadows of what might have been

Piercing crystal slivers of frigid fear, puncture a barren plain of sterile white

Thoughts and muscles imprisoned behind ice bars of an immobilized mind

buried in burning snows of paranoia's contagious, infected bite

fantastic panic erupts from ruptured frostbitten blisters of a false portent blind
