The Face of Darkness
I saw the darkness
and it saw me
It grasped me
in blind, black fingers
holding me helpless
in unyielding grip
The darkness laughed
daring me to resist its will
smiling at my feeble efforts
to break free to light
It showed me its face
human in every conceivable way
My muse has been on hiatus or, actually, it's been held in restraints by time, or the lack thereof. Feels good to get back to things. This is being shared with the good folks over at One Stop Poetry for Friday Poetically, and with The G-Man at Mr. KnowItAll for Friday Flash 55. Be sure you check both of them out. Thanks for reading.

Dark projection of humanity. Very well done in 55
Happy to meet you, happy to follow and so happy to leave a comment for this wonderfully dark, write...I'd say your muse is back with a vengence!
That's the scariest darkness around.

Interesting 55. I've added you to my Follow list.
I was gripped by the rhythm and imagery of this piece from the first two lines. Very enjoyable to read.
nice. the darkness is all too real...sometimes it even likes to call itself me...smiles...but only when i look inward...very nice piece...
so true
The very real darkness of humanity encapsulated in 55 words. So true.
Good, interesting work.
HA!!
Eileen...Your muse is doing just fine!
We've all been in the grip of the Darkness, some can never break free!
Loved your 55
You've been doing these for years haven't you?
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
I'll leave a light on for you.
Great tuff, darker than dark, and with a face. Great lines and word choices. Luv the voice.

This is outstanding!
The human face of darkness - some don't want to face that reality
Nice 55
