    Death Moment

    The black night
    coloured my curtains
    Nothing to hear
    Nothing to see
    And nothing to touch
    Everything's silent
    Everything's dark
    The moon is depressed
    It's hidden behind the clouds
    The leaves are shocked
    They're fasting...
    * * * *
    Nothing...
    Even the wind
    Sank into the darkness...
    My curtains tried to talk
    To say something
    But that "nothing" had
    Its respect and control
    It controlled everything
    And even when my blood tried
    To...run...
    My heart just stopped it...
    It was a death moment...

    i'm waiting forward to reading your reviews...

    i liked the first part a lot, kinda lost me with the second part, but the description is really good

    I liked it all except for the last line. It was redundant. These to lines really grabbed me:
    The leaves are shocked
    They're fasting...
    That seemed quite original.

    Yes, 'the leaves are shocked, they're fasting' stopped me in my tracks.
    I'm in love with The Vinegar Man and Mr. Tanner, but be careful, it could just as easily be you.
