Tethered Dreams
written by Lothiriel07:24 PM 12/15/04Unsuccessful, I lay here dormant
Trying in vain to pass into an ethereal, silent slumber
engaging with the demons in my dreams once again
They scream and cry out to me like I can transform their world
as if I could change my own
Peaceful blue clouds with gold tethered lining await me
shadowed by the gnarled blackness
The stench of a wrath that yearns to eat me alive
Abated by my will to stay sane
To breathe slowly and silently as I pass nonchalantly
through the evergreens of misty dreams
I will not remember most of what happens
I will not believe that I have such foulness inside
Though I know for certain that it is there
ever watching, salivating to catch me unaware
stealthily shadowed
yet never ceasing a moment to spare me peace of mind
I reach out through the fog of a never ending sequence
To which I cannot awake and hide
It holds me close to it, breathing upon me the lucidity I aspire
Then ripping it out of my grasp
Like a child, spoiled of innocence
I cannot breathe
Wicked laughter splays through my soul
Mocking me to its delight
Relishing the moments that I cannot help nor bear
Hastefully I come alive
Clench the covers in heated sweat
Breathing uncontrollable as I wipe away the tears of agony
It could not consume me
I will never relinquish to its command
Lying quiescent inside myself
A brilliant loathing stripping every thought raw
to the very core of its heathen mire
Prolonging only the fate of what I feel is stripping my soul of worth
Screaming and kicking through the blindness
of my demise and my own rebirth
What is left to fear; I inquire to no one in particular
Within myself has been a life's experience tainted
Forcing the strange darkness out of my mind
And wandering aimlessly through this world
in which I am forever unacquainted |
