I Blinked

I blinked
And saw my feet
In mud
I Blinked
And saw my feet
Covered in Blood
I Blinked
Falling towards the sky
I Blinked
I hear mourning
And millions of flies
I Blinked
With a child
In my arms

I Blinked
Sitting on top
Of a mountain
With ants
The size of mouse
Running towards me
I blinked
I am in a house
Covered in bubble wrap
I blinked
I am suffocating
I blinked
A dark shadow’s hands
Over my neck
I blinked
Screamed in my ears
I HATE YOU!
I blinked
Shadows running around in my room
On the walls

I Blinked
In a middle of a dark forest
I blinked
I’m sinking into the trees
And the ground is reaching out to save me
I blinked
Crying tears of pearls into my hands
I blinked
With no thoughts of tomorrow
Only today’s Sorrows
And Past Forgets

I blinked
And saw a reflection of you and me
One was dark
One had wings
I couldn’t tell which One
Was me
I blinked
Kissing you in mid-air
Sharing lights
Flying in the wind
Like the kites
I blinked
With everything I touched
Turned to dust
I blinked
A moth caught on fire
I smell a liar
I blinked

And saw the moon
Talking to me
I blinked
Running with wolves
Following me
I blinked
To be embraced by you
A mermaid
I feel vulnerable
In all your beauty
Fearful of you
I blinked
Tapping on the icy ceiling
With you pulling on my feet
I blinked
I’m tied up and seated
Now, you look ugly

I blinked
Falling through on dry ground
Its hot and dry
With no water to be found
I blinked
I feel gunshots
Passed by like butterflies

I blinked
Talking to you
In a middle of a conversation
I blinked
With multitude of people
Crowding me
I blinked
With multitude of whispers
In my ears
I blinked
Seated on a throne
I blinked
In bed with two
With love-making moans
I blinked
With your blonde hair in the air’s breeze
I breathe in your fragrance
Allowing your hands to tease

I blinked
Playing poker with crows
I blinked
I see greed and needs
Nevertheless
You seemed pleased
I blinked
Tortured by unbearable heat
I blinked
Cocooned within grey sheets
I blinked
With snickering from behind
I Blinked
Two canine teeth’s on my pillow

I blinked
And saw Blackness
And it was beautifully
Decorated.
And I hesitated
To blink again…

    Raucous - I tried reading it as fast as I could. This one requires pace; I enjoyed the rigor of the midnight hour you caught somewhere between blinks.

    Donusho,
    I very much enjoyed this. As Sharp Noir said, it does require pace and it is like a train of once you get going! I really loved "playing poker with crows"
    A Wonderful read, thank you for posting. :)
