Far far away
A never place
No escape
Dark, dark landscape.
Twilight dreams
Stifled screams
Crushed essence
Stale fragrance.
Soulless villain
Slowly killin’
Suffocating voice
Inescapable choice.
Crucible wrought
Or mother’s sloth
Burned anew
Wroth renew.
Won’t spare I those who did this to me
I’ll avenge me like Hell’s Fury
Cross my path and I’ll kill thee
No rainbows lovely, dark, thirsty I be!
Tired feet
Turn to home
Someone’s at the door
Wait in their eyes.
Tired feet
Go home now
It’s time to rest
And rejuvenate a bit.
Tired feet
The day is past
Welcome the night
It’s calm, soothing presence.
Tired feet
The feathers call
Sink in the warmth
In the lover’s arms, fall.
Tired feet
Dream awhile
Tomorrow will be
Today’s an isle.
Hello Darkness, dear friend
Lets fly away together to that special place
Where there’s just you and me
And no one and nothing to chase.
To take a pause from this life
From all the light oh-so-bright
My eyes water or are they tears
How to know now it is night.
That place in dreams that I go to
Whenever you are with me
Wildly attractive, darkly beautiful
Forever mine and yours to be.
That place that we call home
Darkness, old friend, let’s go together
As without you to lighten my path
She disappears from existence into the ether.
Darkness, my friend, do not ever leave me
In the flotsam and jetsam called this life
All my constants are so no more
You are the only that’s no strife.
In the light there is
Some place to be
The girl I was
Meant to be.
In the dreamscape
In the ethereal bright
Are no shadows
No eternal blights
In the space
There be no forever nights
No gray darknesses
No unsightly frights.
There would be I
I, my and me
Splendour and grandeur
I would but see.
There would I be
Ever mine and more
Weaving words
Tapestries of lore.
Would I be there?
Lone and forevermore
Drifting away
Unanchored unshored.
Sweet Escape
Fill in the space
Between the dark and light
Between the dawn and night.
Sweeter taste
Of dreams so chaste
Flights of innocence
Purest in essence.
Sweetest sleep
Please let me keep
The promise of slumber
No chains to encumber.
“Wait for you, I do each night;
Take me in your arms, in sweetest delight.
Each moment I struggle, each minute I fight
Alas! Every time, it’s a dark, endless flight.
Wait for you, I do each night
A gaze bleary, a sunken sight.
Lie by my side, ease my plight.
Seep in my soul, make it right.”
Sleepless night
Restless eyes
Dimmed sight
Soft deep sighs.
My eyes are half masted,
But the brain cannot shut down,
In twisted shadows, locked and gated
The murmurs of a ghost town.
Bloodstream soaked with chemicals,
Grey cells swimming in the soup,
Senses slow and dulls
Still thoughts stuck in a loop.
Here we are, again, my friend,
Together in this journey with no end.
No fences between us to keep or mend
My darling Insomnia, you top the trend.
Mortal ties,
Material coils,
Physical lies,
Earthly foils.
Elaborate webs,
Wispy dreams we weave.
Ethereal tapestries,
To illusions we cleave.
Lives and deaths,
Infinitely looped.
The cycle unbroken,
Seduced and duped.
Daily existence,
A mirage or truth?
Questions galore,
Of old men and the youth.
The finality of death
Or just a ruse?
A change of clothes
Or payment overdue?
The wonder of life,
Mundane subsistence.
Yearning for miracles,
A quest for permanence.
The theory of evolution
Or a godly accident?
Either a normal life
Or a heavenly event.
