Longing

A sleepless night begins, and, much like another
I crawl through the darkness as the mind sunders
Words are gone, horror a newfound companion
Until the dawn, it's a quest for a new oblivion

Silence is everywhere, a sight ever so solemn
In these times that oh so wish to be forgotten
Shaking, moving, quickly twisting, hastily breathing
Moans and begging, asking for a reply: but nothing.

Suddenly, a faint light. New odour. Invisible sight.
Rattling at the door of the spirit, with such might!
Transported to another land, I smile, and I sigh.
I am far from my bed, but I wish for no goodbye.

Large beings surround me, their mighty presence
Filling my lungs, bathing me in a delighted essence
Lo, green tendrils gently caress my naked feet
And I feel comfort as my touch and theirs meet.

So distant from all I know, here I feel at ease
Suddenly, grey giants fill the sky with a breeze
And a light substance falls on my countenance
Coating me in strength for my coming errance.

But just as I set to wander and discover, all darkens
And a tremor, stronger than ever, brings me down.
As I wake to the terrified sound of pounding organs
I sit in the horrid sweat, my hair an uncanny crown.

Down in the jungle of concrete, I never lay my feet
In the confines of these walls I stagnate in defeat
Endless corridors in which I am endlessly calling
For these alien lands that satisfy my longing.
