Quiet Door
I lay alone, tired.
I close my eyes,
but still see
staring into darkness
with closed eyes.
I see the quiet door,
and it calls me.
All I need...
Do I walk?
Walk towards quiet,
through the darkness of my mind,
and find peace
until the morning
or until forevermore.
I close my eyes,
but still see
staring into darkness
with closed eyes.
I see the quiet door,
and it calls me.
All I need...
Do I walk?
Walk towards quiet,
through the darkness of my mind,
and find peace
until the morning
or until forevermore.

Shooting Zzzzzzzzz
All our senses vanish
when descending into sleep
and we follow oh so blindly
without a bloody peep.
Zzzzzzzzzzz
In sleep we are no more.
Zzzzzzzzzzz
We can't and we don't exist without senses
without our sense of self
we're nothing but
a plaything of the gods
or a carcass for the night vultures.
Zzzzzzzzzzz

and we follow oh so blindly

We can't and we don't exist without senses

Beautiful Nightmare
Terrible Dreams,
as you fall asleep,
Slumber is waiting,
as you go in deep.
A good night's rest
is what you shall seek,
No noise or sounds,
Not even a peep.
So, You close your eyes,
As you close them tight,
To catch some zzz's all
through the darkened night.
A Beautiful Nightmare
is what you see,
It so very vivid it's
hard not to Believe.
What's before you,
it seems so real,
It is so miraculous
You can't help how you Feel.
A Dream that is Delighting, and ...
as you fall asleep,
Slumber is waiting,

So, You close your eyes,

To catch some zzz's all
through the darkened night.
A Beautiful Nightmare

it all smells a bit iffy
time and space are irrelevant when
we’re tucked up in bed, and yes I know
that the alarm clock has gone off,
but we can always get a new one ..

peaking lucidities
glowering as angered
red sparking embers

of a deadening pace.. wrapped

go to bed,
you’ve got to be up early
in the morning
I’ll be tired,
whatever

Awake All Night
Last night I could not sleep
I don’t know what is wrong with me
Last night I could not sleep
I don’t know what is wrong with me
When I go in to bed and close my eyes
Only bad things rolling in my mind
Maybe something in my history
Maybe everything in my memory
Maybe nothing, maybe that full fucking moon last night
I don't know, but I want sleep
This is driving me crazy
I need my sleep, I need my sleep
During the day I'll be lazy
I need my sleep, I need my sleep
Have a dream, to sleep forever

awoken too early
woke up, wondered what time
it was certainly early
victorian, perhaps early to mid
all the conjecture I fell back
asleep

4:36 AM
4:36 am, still can't sleep
I think I did everything completely wrong
All I know is...
When you use to touch me
I would think of all of those different men
Fucking my sister & mother at the same time
My hatred towards them, came out towards you
You're in a much better place now
And so am I
One day if i ever get out, I will visit you, for sure
I think I did everything completely wrong
All I know is...
When you use to touch me
I would think of all of those different men
Fucking my sister & mother at the same time
My hatred towards them, came out towards you
You're in a much better place now
And so am I
One day if i ever get out, I will visit you, for sure

3:15 AM
You're alive but in this room you're a ghost
The last few nights you have come to haunt me
It's 3:15 am
The room is getting smaller
I think about what they did to you
I tried to make you see that I was different
Maybe you saw something I didn't see
Perhaps you saw them in my eyes
I'll never see you again
It's never been the same
I feel like I have failed
So old & final
This night breaks Father Time's nose
The last few nights you have come to haunt me
It's 3:15 am
The room is getting smaller
I think about what they did to you
I tried to make you see that I was different
Maybe you saw something I didn't see
Perhaps you saw them in my eyes
I'll never see you again
It's never been the same
I feel like I have failed
So old & final
This night breaks Father Time's nose

Dreams
If the lyrics of the songs
could come to life,
I wouldn’t invent the dark
to echo back your strife.
If the verses of the poems
could breathe and thrive,
I’d keep a stiff upper lip
with determined eyes.
If the colors of the sky
could linger for a while,
but it ended in darkness,
a meaningful goodbye.
If the sunrise could be
as golden as today,
I wouldn’t eat alone
or listen to hearsay.
If dreams could come true,
I’d give them all to you,
but now they’re short-lived—
the red...

Jagged Carvings
I’ve seen it, by the dim lamp’s glow, I’ve seen it
Totem speaks truths no man seen writ
I bow to whispers, spectral and vast
My limbs grow cold; this trance shall last
The walls dissolve—oh, what madness reveals!
The mind unfurls, its ancient seals
The red sigils glow, their meaning I glean
Too late, I know—no man should have seen
I believe I shall perish, by knowledge undone
Yet in this dream, I am the one
I saw the carvings, etched by hands long decayed
Marks of old dreamers, their warnings betrayed
Symbols crawl and shift...
Totem speaks truths no man seen writ

My limbs grow cold; this trance shall last

I saw the carvings, etched by hands long decayed
Marks of old dreamers, their warnings betrayed
