Words in Chains

Words in Chains

                                           Written by Tink 1/05/10
 

I watch helplessly
As the demons
Capture the words
Floating through my mind.

Holding them
Captive
Keeping them
From reaching my fingers.

Faceless creatures
Dark, gloomy;
Haunting.

Taunting me
With my words
Bound in chains

I can see
Their world,
Colors,
Scenes.

Feeble
Are my attempts
To rescue my words.
It’s pointless.

I reach for them.
Instead of getting closer
They are yanked
Further from my fingers.

The chains tighten;
Words gasp for air.
Shadows grow darker
I back away.

To save the words,
I will try again.

Tomorrow.
