Touch the Darkness
Black like the slimy, grotty swamps
Infesting the nether reaches of the mind -
Filmy grime on the inside of a cup.
Dark as the evil of a cold night
Infiltrating the loose boards of a small home -
An icy wind against wet skin.
Firey hot as the magma from a volcano,
Scorching, blackening, burning -
A shower too hot.
As cold,
As bleak,
As grimy, rotten
And dark -
As Death.
