Building a Mystery – The Gypsy Thread

Building a Mystery

It begins with the little issues

Shadows within the nook

A fast glimpse after which nothing

Observed, maybe

Too a lot uncertainty

And definitely not put to reminiscence

Like a whisper in a crowd

There after which rapidly dissipates

Maybe you query for a second

Then rationalize and proceed

And it continues

With objects barely misplaced

A crooked portray

Chairs that appear deserted

Lights flash in a darkened room

Or a sudden chill within the air

Intuition is talking

A sense that retains coming

Something is stirring

Something that isn’t proper

Triggering defenses

Your thoughts now consistently transferring

That newfound feeling

Gnawing ravenously

Building a thriller

No longer simply on the within

Visible now, like an open wound

Irritating confusion

The want is rising

And you start to query

Your senses first, your sanity second

Tiny lapses within the time stream

What ought to have been,

Replicated with one other model

Short on the how and why

But once more, it’s been rationalized

Different ideas for now

New explanations

But then you definitely start to appreciate

The different ideas stay

One’s onerous and dark

It’s you they’re coming for

Edges beginning to fray

Pulling away

The starvation rising

Paranoia and accusatory

But of what accord is the marvel

Suspects in each path

But no living proof to reference

Careful questioning

As the times proceed

Evenings fading into evening

More oddities within the shadows

Growth of unclaimed actions

Actionable encounters

Footfalls deep into the darkness

Too loud to pin to a dream

Scratching window on a cloudless day

The feeling of one thing stirring

But when and the place and why

There’s a thinning occurring

Blurring the distant imaginative and prescient

Double takes and reexamination

And the lacking issues

Now extra essential issues

Searching turns into maddening

Suspicions manifesting

Eyes shifting and observing

Borderline panicking

Brow sweating, coronary heart pounding

Vision darting, silence deafening

Madness overtaking

Ears ringing, haunted singing

Laughing turns into screaming

Fitful dreaming, damaged pondering

Tearing, swearing, earth shearing

Ground shaking, all the things breaking

Things corrupting, flames erupting

Evil rising, synchronizing

Head pounding, physique shaking

Smoke coiling, blood boiling

Sharp stinging, barely clinging

Alarm clock ringing…
