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
