Dr. FOSTER

Inspired by the brilliant BBC TV drama.

Incoming text.

Oh sword, sword, how sharp!
Spiteful as a foreign mercenary - and as heartless.
Looking - though trying hard not to. Who from?
It is the gut-wrencher, an implement of torture.
Who is this who would steal my life?

What am I reading? Such sickening words
that pierce the breast like a steely blade.
God! How shall I ever staunch the inner bleeding?
They're draining my entire being, destroying their victim.
Oh why did this happen to me?

Sense of sight becomes dire curse. The screen,
static too long in shock, turns blank.
But the after-image expands in shocked brain. It's malignancy
is his betrayal - and with such a BITCH!
Aah, but beware the woman scorned...

    Although on the outside here, your expressed drama has pulled me in. will definitely be looking to see where I can get access to this show.

      Thank you, Anthony!
      It is one of those rare TV dramas that literally had me "on the edge of my seat" from beginning to end. It was emotionally draining...yet totally addictive.
      I do hope you get to see it someday...:)

    Ygraine, this sounds very interesting, especially seeing I like some of the darker things in life; after all . . . I am a Witch.

      Oh Baili...it was so powerful a drama. It was difficult to watch at times, but maybe that is because it had a lot to say about the state of contemporary western society - it kind of made you ask yourself, "is this REALLY what we have become?"

      Thank you, my dear Friend...I so appreciate your take on things...and your kind encouragement.:))

      A Hug.
