go easy when you pass through me <br />things are different inside than out <br />it is like looking <br />through a large piece of smoked glass <br />set in blackness <br />the darkness around the glass gives a sense of depth <br />as though the opening stood alone <br />with nothing around or behind it but dark <br />you could walk all the way around it <br />and still see nothing from the other side <br />you could become lost <br />and never find your way out <br />being there is like a dream <br />every blink of an eye <br />is a deliberate, exaggerated gesture <br />time stretches out <br />and a cold icy mist envelops <br />one hair at a time on my skin <br />you are the only light left to that world <br />the blackness goes on forever <br />but your small pool of light to surround <br />grows smaller by the day <br />as if something pressed it back <br />or ate it<br /><br />Eila Mahima Jaipaul<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dark-dark-soul/
