across the winter of my mind...

Across the winter of my mind I run

Prey hunted by baying dog

Thoughts press through my icy soul

Frozen in time eternal...

Chained to post of life I run

In circles...

Shrieking as hunter bites

Breaking free...cries of despair

Shattering heart

Rending of Soul

I weep...

Darkness consumes

Creeping cold fingers prepare meal of mind

Writhing ecstasy of madness

It feeds

One last bit of hope...

Heart, soul, mind consumed

Imprint of life pressed into icy plateau

Evidence of what used to be

In the winter of my mind

Hunter sated

Rests
