The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

I present, for your inspection, two acrostics and two rather long ramblings...

 

Mesmerizing sphere

Of silver light

Or pocked chunk of

Noxious cheese?

 

***

 

Body's tears

Life's feed

Of the body

Of life

Death's revival.

 

***

 

Help me.

I'm drowning.

Can't you see me?

I'm

sinking

deeper

and

deeper.

No one's here to save me.

Help me.

My

lungs

are

filling

up

with

water.

Help me.

Be my savior.

Why...

won't...

you...

help...

me?

I'm drowning...

 

***

 

Each foot step takes a lifetime.

My body is heavy with weariness.

I am so cold.

The wind is a whip of ice, lashing me 1000 times.

Sleep closes my eyes.

I long to sleep.

It has been days since last I slept.

But I cannot rest.

If I stop,

I will not wake up.

I will freeze, and die

In blissful sleep.

I must go on.

This icy hell cannot last forever.

A stranger walks out of the white.

He stands before me.

"Sleep, and I will guard you."

An angel has come to save me.

I sink to the ground where I stand.

Before I hit the snow I am asleep.

I feel strong, warm arms encircle me.

Protecting me from the elements.

Blissful sleep...

I rouse, and yawn.

I am cold.

Snow dusts my shoulders.

Icicles cling in my hair.

My angel is gone.

But when I sleep, I am safe.

for all it may be "rambling" i really like your "drowning" one. i've felt that way far too much, lately.

 

and i have to say..

But when I sleep, I am safe.

i truly envy you this.
