Dreams Equal Reality

Dreams Equal Reality


Wakening……..
And this forest becomes my friend
Soiled by these leaves
And cleansed by waters, glistening.
Thorns leave traces of scarlet
Alone my arms and face.
My sap is spilling
To color this earthen floor,
And the sun drops down
Back behind the trees
And the last drops of dusk….fall upon me,

Falling……
Suddenly and quickly,
Down a tunnel of tainted hand prints
Heat bellows from below me
Sulfur burns the cuts on my skin
Tangled hair flies from my brow
And the heat from this fiction burns my cheap satin gown.
And yet……
I am nothing
Floating in a serum
that’s thick and sugar based
But has already expired before you could taste.


Stopping……
The darkness is my only friend
And the cloven hoofs of dark whispers
Echoes in my ears once again.
Strapped with chains
Burdened and blundered
From living in this maze
With no close, and no open space.
And my disenchanted flesh bleeds along with pain
My heart, submerged in hot reddish liquid called pity
Beats in time with a broken clock..
..set in time with the sun..
From the forest…..
…another world away.
