 ~REFLECTING MOMENTS~

A FINE LITTLE LINE....



A FINE LITTLE LINE...

I heard my soul scream
last night... as I slept
while my dead visitors
studied me... in silence

As they injected...themselves
their pain and suffering into my veins
where I have scratched... this surface
to bleed them out

I see them... in vivid color
I can identify them
by their individual odors
and internal scars of life

The afterglow
of being... a human being

They show me things
awful and debilitating
but I grin and collect it all
as I am... accustomed to

Some dreams are not... for the faint of heart
and some horizons... should not be

Fatigue has set in
by this valley of visions
it's entirety has hindered...
...my existence

It is not simple
it is not black and white

It is a form of energy
stranded and or chained
for reasons... that I will not know

I ask and have asked
there will be... no answer

Why do they stay... upon this plane
why do they wallow and wail
leaving me with a belly swollen
with deep cold emotions
from another level of living

I carry their burden
of a life ended in sorrow

I carry my own
somewhere

With my own being suffocated
between the threshold of misery
from familiar faces... and of strangers

The damned comes to mind
can this be my own glimpse
and what if I am... already dead
dwelling among a universe
designed... just for me...

Will I be
hiding behind denial
or just... forever
not knowing

I ask...

If you know pain in dreams
how would you know... if you were alive
...when you wake

I cringe contemplating

Just maybe this is my own
...chaos...embedded from the other side
of life...created... from an order of...my death...
