Suffocating Dreams

Thoughts drift into the deep Penetrating fears, aspirations, And suffocating emotions In my dreams As light turns into darkness Loud morphs into silence My mind drifts I paint numerous faces That may exist in other places The watery murkiness that exists In sublevels of unconscious interpretation Past failures and inhibitions drown hope I turn over and my mind Unravels my next creation Indeed I stand in vast Dimensions of drifting land One foot on solid ground The other remains In sinking sand I envision beautiful tigers in cages While monstrous snakes roam free I protect victims of child molesters While chesters sink their venom into Women and children who are weak numbers resonate and escape my dreams as one thirteen means life to me while I shift 12/08/07 quickly and create eight ten twenty seven instantly images of deceitful men run rampant in my brain causing me to hide under shift left, pause, turn right and lock in to avoid pain nevertheless, I always dream I always sleep No insomnia for me Although sometimes its hard to tell Reality from make believe I take deep breaths when I awake And kick hard to stop falls From unbelievable heights I dig in the dark for keys to doors To only remain shut out like sunlight
