Night Mare's Abyss
Lovecraftian Abyss , Frozen Kiss ,
Something Amiss In This Paralysis
Where I Have Ventured In This Sleep
Into Caverns Chthonic Dark And Deep
And Eldritch Voices Fill Oppressive Air
Dank And Damp As I Go Forth Nowhere
As I Peer Into The Eyes Of A Night Mare
Black Upon Black It Returns My Stare
No Quarter Given , No Retreat Allowed
One Approaches Wrapped In Shadow's Cowl
On Their Hunched Shoulders Two Horned Owls
Between Misshapen Pillars Do They Slither Walk
And Not With Ears Yet In My Brain Do I Hear Them Talk
Telling Me Now Is The Time I Shall Not Again Wake
That They Have Come Into This Night Mare My Soul To Take !

A Delusional Mind
If I’m delusional
Is this an illusion
Is this a dream
Are things as they seem?
Is my mind down a rabbit hole?
The lights are one but nobody’s home
Is this a euphoric fantasy
A mirage of colours
A hallucination of love
A trip into the clouds
A twisted delirium
A midnight trance
A daze
A haze
If I’m delusional
And that’s all I’ll ever be?
Why bind me to reality
With the bondages of materiality
When my head aches to be free
The tethers of reality
Will never trap my mind
As my dreams can slip
Through the bars
Of sanity
Is this an illusion
Is this a dream
Are things as they seem?
Is my mind down a rabbit hole?
The lights are one but nobody’s home
Is this a euphoric fantasy
A mirage of colours
A hallucination of love
A trip into the clouds
A twisted delirium
A midnight trance
A daze
A haze
If I’m delusional
And that’s all I’ll ever be?
Why bind me to reality
With the bondages of materiality
When my head aches to be free
The tethers of reality
Will never trap my mind
As my dreams can slip
Through the bars
Of sanity

Nightmare Turns Into Reality
“I love you” frozen on my lips.
Your hands that are on my hips,
But your hands turn cold and
Bony. Your skin turns into sand
Castles that are knocked over by
Ocean waves as it vanishes as I try
To remember what everything felt
Like, but it is really blurry. You melt
As as the sun carries you away
To somewhere else. In the archway
Is where you stand and shadowy
Figure of my memory with that holy
Light disappearing into complete
Darkness down a one way street.
My eyelids that are struggling to
Open, but I know within the blue
Vastness like the Pacific Ocean
You are gone, things in slow motion.
Your hands that are on my hips,
But your hands turn cold and
Bony. Your skin turns into sand
Castles that are knocked over by
Ocean waves as it vanishes as I try
To remember what everything felt
Like, but it is really blurry. You melt
As as the sun carries you away
To somewhere else. In the archway
Is where you stand and shadowy
Figure of my memory with that holy
Light disappearing into complete
Darkness down a one way street.
My eyelids that are struggling to
Open, but I know within the blue
Vastness like the Pacific Ocean
You are gone, things in slow motion.

Wanderlust Nightmare
Darling, I can see the wanderlust within your eyes
For the one place that you have only dreamed
About, but all the trees there turn dark and dreary.
Your laughter that rings out loud turns into cries
And being frightened. Your smile that once beamed
So bright like a shining flashlight becomes weary,
Tired and guarded. Everything is on high alert
As you never know about the creatures that lurk
Within the shadows. It is like you are being chased
By those monsters you cannot see. You try to advert
Danger, a hand over your chest, hoping your berserk
Heartbeat settles, but it is as loud as when you raced
To the finish line. You keep running, hoping you can
Outrun it all, but do not shoot the messenger and you
Cannot outrun what is in a nightmare. You are falling
But you cannot wake up because the shadows plan
To keep you there for eternity. Your once favorite blue
Sky will break open and the rain is going to keep calling.

eighth sphere
Decentre' of time will shift 51* then 51 shifts away from a center'
Center' of the great wheel we open a door of seven to decentre'
.......
Mind' is sore for the sight making as making a sight for sore eyes'
Eyes' on a light that is feeling as it feels like a light on your mind'...
Time' not from steps to God as a M point God steps from no time'
Time' rhythm to rhyme that makes a new rhyme to rhythm time'
.......
Enter' a new circumference soul the circumference a new center'
Center' the time travel keys tuned to keys that time travel enter'...
Repose' to concentrate across as we concentrate across the nous'
Nous' proportion spinning as 6/5 so spun proportion will repose'
.......
Flight' is faster when going inside as inside goes faster than sight'
Sight' outside a mind watching as watching outside a mind flight'...
