The Nightmare - Mag 55

Courtesy Magpie

Weary feet in step
with the world's drum
a casual glance reveals
the carefully constructed
facade still in place.

Some normal  days
solace brings along
the journey thus far 
highly strung nerves
like a coiled spring
never knowing when
dim courage has bolted...

A nervous tick belies
the hidden tremors awakening
blood splattered walls
lemon souffle and fork
the nightmare begins....

Sympathetic voices 
wake up to
a year ago
seems much longer
our last meal
before they took her
my only child
draped in blood
darkness covers
as they burgled along...

Oh nooo!! The end really was shocking and vivid!!!
Beautifully written though!! A truly moving piece, my friend... effective in its subtlety...
And the coloring was done to perfection!!
