Personal Demon
Personal Demon
Twilight's shadows consume my thoughts
reapers glove clutching daylight to suffocation
Sleep remains elusive, in waking dreams
obsessive images loop unfettered
Fertile soil of ancient memories
spawn demons of my past realms
Yesterday storming today's bastions of sanity
manufactured reality expired, obsolete
Gatekeeper guard the boundaries of my soul
fistfalls of desperation resounding, pounding
Claw the erected walls upward
crumbled reality a pinhole of dawns light
Relinquish the reapers grasp
another day as demons wait for dusk
Stephen (Stoic)
