Defying thresholds of pain <br />Marching clots of anguish <br />Seething embers flash <br />Broken bones become ash <br />Shooting neurons rush <br />Burning blood races to flush <br />Mind...a forest filled with fog <br />Heart...a croaking frog <br />Slipping into a bottomless abyss <br />Sound of a serpent hiss? <br />Demons visit in a line <br />Will you still be mine?<br /><br />Renu Rakheja a.k.a Tranquil Ocean<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/e-14-dark-abyss/
