A cold wind passed,
My expanding thoughts-
Solidifying water
Cracked my skull.
Thorns prick,
Penetrate
Deeper
And deeper.
They crowd
On all sides.
The fire
Sadistic
Licks my flesh.
The waves push me to mock
As I sink slowly.
I struggle to take another breathe,
Can I....
(This poem was written by me many years ago but I recently made some changes to it.)

Cold and hot, solid and piercing, fire and water in vivid justapositions evoke powerful images.
