Reverie

Alas, I lie, awakened mind Drifting into God-forsaken time. Unconsciously unaware A war rages under there. Perspicacious subconscious me I beseech thee, listen now, hear my plea. Blood-drunken sword lay at thine side. Allow me rest, dear captain, just one night A thousand strong is our enemies' might But skirmish, must we, through twilight? Perspicacious subconscious me Understand you not the insanity? Demons defeated, victory blood-bought, But at steeper price? I pray thee, give thought! Perspicacious subconscious me Must Ego die for victory? And what of, after, his brother and friend? Must I then, too, let go of him? Leave me, will you, with only insatiable drive And let it be that beast Id alone will rise? Perspicacious subconscious me Battle-born and bred, at the ready. In the arms of Morpheus let me be As you don cloth, no longer panoply. Perspicacious subconscious me Let me rest and truly sleep For I have a reverie to sublimely dream. Yea, to rest and let you, my mind, be at peace.

Raw emotion displayed in your piece, as with other pieces pf yours. That's what attracts me to your verses. Beautifully expressed, I love that -"Perspicacious subconscious me"... something that can ring in my head for a very long time. I love this melancholy wonder. Always, Laura
