From Within by Ryan Bauer In my mind, behind my eyes there is entropy manifest- in fabric set by ink, and by pen. I sense behind this door, this darkness is encroaching to every possible pore, every tiny niche approaching every wide corridor... shining deep within the darkest brightness, overwhelming shadows weep- with a quickening and then a slowing, there's a beastly heart that pumps its flowing.. although the talons seem to creep, I show them I am frightless- my body and my thoughts aglowing, and I face them in my sleep. 08/26/2006 Author's Note: I wrote this up under inspiration from some abstract artwork...first edit.

But it makes me want to cry.
