Poem -
Old demons
Darkness descends upon me,
no sun for days,
spotty sleep,
shadows from past.
Swimming with old demons,
keeping my head above water,
now floating with them.
Familiar faces, energies surround me.
There is no struggle,
sinking down into dark, fishy realms.
It is almost pleasant,
danger hiding.
Mysteries flash,
I go deeper,
to the root of it.
Old, buried sadness.
Fish flash in the depths,
graceful, hypnotic.
A shark passes, leaving me alone
to seek other prey.

Thank you so much for your promotion of my poem on FB! I am honored and thrilled! Took me totally by surprise! Have great days/nights! Susan
Congratulations Susan on the fb promotion. I enjoyed the imagery of your write in the battle and acceptance of ones demons, some we can do without others we learn to conquer or live with. Good write and I will be checking out some more of your work.
Thank you, Devon! Glad you liked the imagery, and I have to say that I have far more acceptance of my demons now than I did as a younger person. The last stanza says I am not stuck in the battle I once was. I appreciate your comment, hope you find other pieces you like! Thank you for your support! Have a great day/night! Will be looking at your work also! Susan
Thank you, Cherie! I appreciate your support and I liked your comment on this piece! I love the ocean and it's inhabitants. A whole world that is in water! I also associate water with the subconscious and unconscious mind, so choosing ocean imagery for this piece really worked for me. Thank you for your encouragement! Hope you have a great day! Susan
Hey Susan, congratulations on the Facebook promotion, very well deserved :-)
