Dream Quest ©

*inspired by the world of H.P. Lovecraft*

It's tucked into your bed,
your bound silver thread,
sewn in fleshy cavities,
where hearts do beat.
Pulled astray
from the light of day,
Out of the grey.
Of wonder and dismay.
Plucked just to make minds play,
to resonate dreamscapes.

Drawn through . . .
Lured to . . .

Remembering the nights of before.
Allies of surreal galore.
Determined to find your way
to romanticized cities,
the splendor of which
has carved a deep wish
and caused you to crave
this exalted dream place.

You've been to this forest before.
The friends you have made
have warned you with lore.
Some may stow-away
Just to witness your fate.

You weren't supposed to dream of this.
You will learn the price of bliss.
We will see what comes your way.
Curiosity is desirable bait.

Only one king has ever returned.
It's from him that you wish to learn
the location of walls
concealing Old Ones.

Drawn through. . .
Lured to . . .
What will come of you?


You've been to this port town before.
Men of mist and onyx
have warned you with lore.
On faceless flight beasts,
past the dark nameless priest.
Inescapable breeze!
Pulling thee
to the unknown,
to a thought and a home.
To the other side
of memories and dreams.
