dreams/nightmares
The weakening of limbs
I sink into my pillow
after 3 days of no sleep,
I feel weight-less
and what was on my
conscious and aching pain
turns into a fairytale dream.
The days of painting away
with my mates, keeping
a close eye for my boss's
vehicle approaching
as we take an extra
30 minutes for lunch break.
I'm back in School and there are
shooters in all the halls,
blood fills almost every
cemented cavity
as I flow away
like water
down the drain...
Evaporated
in time
while invading
Pennywise the clown
by simply closing my eyes...
The re-occurring nightmare
of a visit to the beach
to see one of mother's friends
when I was about ten.
The family dog, would
chase me into the dunes
and chew down on my back
and spill the blood from my neck.....
I had this dream about 12 times
and it was different but
would end the same.
The angels & demons spiraling
into my mind, constantly.
I can't let the bad ones out,
My mind feeds on running out of time
Once shiny was every new dime
and that sparkle in eyes not yet
exploited by those so darkened
I wish could ever so shine..
The wolves hunt with the lambs
under the protection of the rams
The pearls under such rare clams
found in rivers, oceans & dams...
You should watch yourself,
when you feel fear and distress
Its over before you are 12
with a sworn secret
and bleeding knees, torn dress.
Once beautiful with now needles
her only gentle high that cradles
bruises and black eyes
every-day events from clienteles
You can't hurt or kill
those of us who are
already dead.
I'll take the fall
from the holy sword...
Take a name and apply it,
its your name-tag
and please, we don't care
of your wonderful efforts...
You know you are no longer even here
when you'll rather surf rock bottom,
and no longer need to appease
the machine of capitalism
The sexualization of children
was the last draw,
and now we are entering Sodom
and Jesus will draw his sword.
