Stairway To The Abyss

Climbing a stairway into the mind without
steps
In a room with no windows only doors
without keys
Just silence on deaf ears so it's as quiet as 
kept 
It's dark like a dead sleep with no life to
it's dreams
Visions so lucid & liquid like as if from eyes
that just wept
Sometimes you can see things with eyes
that don't see
Oceans of worlds exist right before you but
your eyes don't detect
It's so deep that you're surrounded by the abyss
but unaware of the sea
