Have you ever ...

Have you ever stood
On the edge
Of nothing?
Vast emptiness
Pulling you in
Vacuum in space
Hole in time
Light behind
Close your eyes
Jump
No scream
No end
Falling, tumbling
Awake?
No…dream?
Terror inside
Try to rise
Thick black darkness
Covers the mind
Tranquil whispers
Call your name
Willing, lulling
You to sleep
Not yet
Fear forbids
Floating, sideways
Upside down
Where where
Everywhere
Not at all
I ask
Implore
Teasing answers
Caress and stroke
Eluding touch
But sigh
Felt within
Forever without
Where is light?
Air to breathe
Songs to hear
Another place
Long ago
Forever far
Further than thought
Closer than ever
Out of reach
Tempting teasing
Fate will out
Where to now?
Away away away
From this …
Place?
Animal passion
Enfolds
Surrounds
Consumes
Me.
