Shadows and Shades
Shadows and shades broken things.
Screams and chaos. Nightmares sing.
I could see then I could not. Illusions.
Shattered dreams unsmiling, confusion.
Twisted, twirls, smokescreens imagination,
Thrusting flames igniting sparks fascination.
Sinking. No exit, no escape, no refuge,
And tears would flow endless deluge.

Thank you so much for reading and commenting.
Deep emotions, almost as deep as an ocean, and you can feel the waters rising as the individual seems to be sinking with no sign of help. Riveting. Thank you for sharing, Cynthia! You are a awesome poet.
