(0) Evanescence (0) Poem by Kristin Nicole RothDavis

Gracefully sitting on a bench at the park
Listening to the music in the air
Breeze caressing her lovely hair
Delicate perfume is carried through til' dark.

She turns the page from her book
Suddenly she sensed an awkward feelin'
Ignores the increasing sensation of panic
She takes another quick look
Muscles tighten as she begins to get a lil' frantic.

Clouds are rollin' in and it's getting dark
Wind is gaspin', reaching out and grabs her
Quickly releasing her with a thunderous bark
Heart pounding heavily in her chest
Approaching an unusual storm at it's best.

Not sure if it's the book she's been reading
Or the storm she's been seduced by
Stands up and looks around and quickly stares at the ground
Evangelistically screaming,
Feelin' like she's instantly bound

Out of nowhere comes a hellova sight
Tears loutishly fall down her cheek
Fears brought on this woman's ability to fight
Total darkness, touched by his hand
A glimpse into his alluring eyes
She couldn't understand what was happening
All she knew was he had No Right!

A voice in her head speaks ' I'm here to take you away'
She horrifiably pulls from his grip
He allows her to slip, 'You might want to pray'
She falls romantically to her knees
Loud rumbling laughter runs through her veins
As he continues to pull harder on the reins

She quickly realizes she hasn't any control
Heart breaking in pieces
People aren't s'pose to wear leashes
Excitement, fear, and pain caused her blood to boil
Nails gripping into the soil
As he has her by the hair
She can't help but think that somehow this just isn't fair

Just as he was about to get his fill
The beast from within' was released
She had one thought and that was to kill
Out of nowhere became this woman with skill
The challenge was on
She took a moment to notice he looked pleased

Still frantic, still the angelic soul
Without any choice but to give in to his wants
She became someone dark
A beauty that now haunts
Those who thought of her as weak
For now she's met her master
No doubt, she couldn't be any faster.

She gets in her stance while
He is enveloped into a trance
'Doesn't have to be this way' she hears in her head
Puts up her fists ready to play
He quickly turns the other way
Draws in his wings with a thunderclap
Everything falls into it's place with a snap

Laying on the ground unbound,
Perspiring fears of the unknown
Heart racing and tear marks on her face
Looks around, clear skies
Immediately rubs her eyes,
Things just couldn't have been a dream
Seem like it was so surreal.

Raises herself up from the ground,
Clothes torn, hair a mess,
Notices from a distance a shadow
'This is your EvAnEsCeNcE' she heard

A sense of power, strength, and wisdom
Flowed entirely through her body
From this point forward she will never
Face anything with fear
It must be real it's been a whole year
Her shadow is a seductive shear!
