Splash What’s that? Splash How’s that, Splash Possible? Splash Plausible? Splash Splash Downpour. It rains here, Yet the sky is clear, And the ground is dry. No spots in the sky. Yet it rains... It rains. It rains. Red Black Thick Red No... It’s blood And I feel Drained It’s my blood Falling from the sky Coming from a monster Previously slain Yet like this ground, I feel so dry. Run I run I run faster And faster He’s behind me He’s gaining He’s in front of me And he says Smile. Flash The ground is gone I fall down, down, down And upon my head Appears a crown With the inscription “Little Reprobate” He flies above me He says Hi. Tells me to smile And I fall There are shackles on my feet, Pulling me into the sea. Shards of silver, With broken glass, Litter the sea floor. Stop. He swims like a shark Stop! He reminds me, In the cold I’m coming for you. STOP I should have known There’s no peace in the pond STOP! The broken glass glues as one It forms a door, To another shore, With a doorbell DING ****! DING ****! DING ****! I ring frantically He opens the door and says Die. I SAID STOP! You little fool. Flash I’m back, I’m home In this prison of innocence known. Here he has no Red Throne. For I’ve seen with my own eyes, Dark places are my reprise.
A reprise showing how many of my previous poems are all connected to tell my story in cohesion. Though disparate, they come together.
