'The Callers'

'The Callers'

I want to see through walls...behind drapes...beyond
Shutters.
To hide.
To close my eyes and enter a dream realm
To not see them.
Time eases nothing, fear always tangible.
Tightened knots of anticipated impotency
clawing at my sanity,
edging me closer to the impenetrable void …
Each time I see them.
Unanswered questions with sibylline intent and perplexing silent menace
Uninvited threshold to my sacrosanct thoughts,
Are they still mine or theirs imposed?
Why do I see them?
Why me? Not you..just me?
Almost forgetting some nights what can attend- to sleep, fitfully always,
But ever cognizant to their unrestrained, unwelcome  arrival
To wake, unbidden, enveloped in noiseless silence.
Movement impossible, heart thundering, panic rising,
screaming silently, uncontrollably…’leave me! Leave me! Go….
Shapes forming through solid mass, impossible,unreal,but there...
Always unable to deflect my sight from the emotionless,fathomless
blackness of those  hypnotic eyes, penetrating my mind until
I have, again,become them….

No one will understand the power this type of visitation can have on the subject...I know you have had experiences for most of your adult life and the impact this has had must be immeasurable and yet you still function...I hope you find it cathartic writing about it ..scary but well written.xxx

Ooooh I absolutely love this Lodigiana! The visualisation, the emotion, there's so much strength in this write, it sucked me right into  how I used to feel, in my darkest days of my night terrors, well done!! ??? x

Hopefully those days are behind you now Wayne, ] as they seem to be for me- but the inner dread/fear never completely goes but is controlled and subdued. Thank you for your kind words and always sleep tight my friend!
