PICTURE TOTAL DARKNESS...,
There is a amber colored spotlight in the center of this darkness.
I'm seated on chair. SILENCE! a little later music fades in}
THE TOUCH BEHIND!
I stare forward, never straight
A deep hollow ridge of nothingness
Calloused thoughts of day not yet'
I sit immune to my surroundings
Only a golden haze about my being
It's warmth covers my body with a designers artistic ability
It makes my hair of blond shine like that of a golden lily
My hair lies layered, like the mane of an African Lion into the wind
My features rise sharp and extend and accent with the golden haze
From behind, a touch, cool and alive, I move not
Slender fingers from a lady of leisure they dance about my face
Dancing with rippled movements that make me nervous
It creates insecurity in my corrosive mood
Music loud, louder, it roars with a thunderous beat
An excessive anger weaves in and out and over me
Twisting around my thoughts until it over-rides all other feelings
Tension, tightness and a pathogenic thought, "I SCREAM HARD"
Rough and with a vice-like grit in my jaw
I'm no longer immune, with the speed of an attacking Cheetah
I turn with a force uncontrollable
The calloused thoughts are released!
The golden haze has turned BLOOD RED!
FIRE HOT and with a Demon's eye, the intent to KILL!
A lust for blood, the sweet flow of life,
I crave like a starving Vampire
All feelings are gone but the pounding beat of my heart
It's in my stomach and in my temples
A fist with muscled power
I hit, hit, hit, AND HIT I SCREAM WITH, HER BLOOD SPLATTERING
FROM MY THROAT MY FANGS EXPOSED!
And then...........................................
Silence begins to swell
Back, back I transform to the stare forward, never straight
Nothingness and calloused thoughts subside short
Fire turns from red into the golden haze of once before
The only thing that has changed is the footing I place
And the sound of my stomach growling for more.
I'll wait for another to
TOUCH BEHIND........
