Feelings.........

rushing, open sound of wind
silence of the plain unbroken

heart beat feels a pounden'
nails through veins of glass

bobbed wire slowly strokes
nerves of blazing fire

eyes that cannot cry
stream dry dust instead

anger rolls from horizon
fear steals limbs of strength

passion blinds mind to thought
hurt fills heart with dread

lost so in the open
no path to lead away

stomping stamping kicking
fighting screaming cursing

a high pitched broken laugh
hoarse from a scream stilled throat

her last words to me were
why cant you ever feel?
