MORNING'S TORMENT

Tortured by dawn's silence
Betwixt morn's glow and incubo
Secrecy engulfs the mind
Taunting muted reverie.
'Tis here all memory dissipates
Like shadows 'pon the wall
Dancing to each heartbeat
In dervish devilry.

Through jalousie vision
Lie fragmented thoughts
Perched high 'pon a window
Of perilous dreams.
Tortured by dawn's silence
Betwixt morn's glow and incubo
Who can touch reality
Who can hear the screams.



"early hours of the morning can be so empty"

Alliteration, assonance and the embedding of consonance echo the sounds of verbal music within a piece well written. I always enjoy taking a trip back in time with you.
