Vertigo

I stand and I fall

The world is moving violently

I close my eyes

Everything is still moving

I feel myself taken by it

Caught up in the endless motion

It’s almost like I feel this wave

Taking me away and whirling me about

Nothing is still

Looking in the mirror I appear to be moving

Everything takes on a violent spin

All I can do is lay down and take it all in

Even in the quiet darkness

Everything is still moving though I lay still

Drifting to thankful sleep

The dizziness haunts my dreams…

Pain Struck (Haikus)

Feeling searing pain.

My entire world keeps spinning.

Migraines are the worst!

Each time I get up.

I am stunned by vertigo.

Aspirin is no relief.

Must be unconscious.

The only relief is sleep.

Soft dark and quiet.
