Why,
do we fear the dark     It's
cold hands reaching
                                     reaching
                                                      reaching
It's teeth chat t  t   t     t       ttering
It's breath m
                     o
                               a                   n
                                                              i              n
                                                                                    g
The putrid stench invading out nostrils, eyes
Mouth, rotting our
teeth, muffling our
screams

But then,
again,
What is it we're scared of exactly?

...

The lack of comfort
knowing there's some figment of control
Being blind, one sense
utterly blocked out

...

But,
       really?

There's still ears,
nose, mouth
skin,
if not,
how can we not hear the chatters and moans
smell, taste, the thick rotting scent,
feel the non existent chill?

Just think,

If all our senses were gone,
Then,

we'd truly be




...

....

Another attempt for a shape poem. Don't know if it's good. Have a good read though :)

I Know
I am just
An Old Shoe
That should be thrown away
But if you tear me to small pieces.
And rearrange my flesh to be with you
It could be the perfect fit for me and you.
Love,
Your Old Shoe

the right side of my mattress has caved in on itself
a not so tiny crater in the shape of me
a rough outline of my contours
and i wonder
for a fleeting moment
if your bed has the same problem
only on the left
- i like your name even though no one calls you by it (i will)
