Colored Dreams.
Sleep’s artwork I once created believing I was so aware,
Passing my eyes infinite times those sketches were all I could care,
Some a charcoal black hatred streaked within a gray bleak,
With a knifed paint of strength and rendering one weak,
A storming of artwork akin to the sea’s lashing of the shores,
Washing away the layers of dependence to expose my naked core,
My vision a pastel polluted quagmire I can’t control or refine,
At rest and peace a dullish blood red yet in pain my light to guide,
Those penciled haunting’s that remain singed in my head,
I fear they will forever torture and regret me as my sanity’s bled,
So distant is my comprehension do I corner myself a challenge to fight,
Pulling me into a raining black and defeating me into a fading of white,
My minds eye is unfocused and I search for the essence of yours,
Through this spattering of brushwork losing direction of my course,
Inside this gallery of gray where life challenges me to extremes,
I hold on to the past where I reside painting colored dreams
