Hallucinations Poems

my inner voice

Be a still shadow when the void is 
smeared 
onto concrete walls.
The void—
a deafening drone—
devours shadows that dare speak.

It closes in, fast—
in my head it whispers:
Join us. You are
hollowed enough
to blend in without fault.

I sit still—
because I was told: 

If I move—If I shiver— 
I become the smeared void.

Hallucinations

Thinking too much
Wish my mind was a light switch
5 a.m. thoughts hallucinate reality
Ghost words fuel scarred responses
Everything ends eventually
Detach early
Hurt less
Spiral out of sunken eyes
Time passes and my frame
Stays still
My body is swollen with
Unreciprocated emotion
And if you cut me in half
I would finally be able to take
A full breath
Am I healing my inner child
If I

Premium MemberHallucinations

Hallucinations in the sound of the wind 
and the doors of our favorite place;
Sounds in the woods 
and the roar of the waves, 
all I  see is your face;

The carnival ride of a head trip 
clouding my cheeks and flushing my thoughts,
focused on this altered state of mind 
drawn in by the euphoria of

Premium MemberPalliative Hallucinations

The tip of a finger, barely touching ulcerated skin
   Chamfered ache of reason, or finely balanced whim
  Forced through a reality, where spoons become bent
  Into the pleasure dome, they inject gaseous cement 

    Climbing on rope ladders, spiraling around a kite
   Wrestling fallen angels, fighting

Video Games and Hallucinations

After grueling sessions of
 
Guitar Hero 3,
 
I would often look to the mirror
 
to my right
 
and marvel at how
 
my vision was affected by the game,
 
with the mirror becoming twisted
 
and augmented,
 
slithering across the wall in my living room.

Hallucinations

Blood on her shirt.
She runs away
from herself.
A smashed mirror.
Amnesia.
And fate.
She ate away.
A decayed body.
Dangling on a fan.
Left there to be witnessed.

As she walked into her vision
of happiness,
she suddenly stops.
It was herself she was glaring at.
Her destiny she was perceiving.
She was being stabbed to death
by seven demons
while laying down on the floor 
unclothed.

Premium MemberBrink of Beyond

tangerine slashed crimson skies
golden rays blink on the horizon
silence engulfs the sooty night
arise murderous moon
chase furtive shadows
meander illusory paths
of a torn and troubled mind
to the bleeding ruins of me
standing at the precipice
perilous oblivion
turbulent waters drum
upon granite rocks
ruminations, whispering torments
fly away, fly away now
loosening tenuous grip on reality
all the stars in the sky
see me wavering

Entered: Inward

Hallucinations

An angel all in white with a red handbag
Seven priests all in black clasp their hands in prayer 
A girl sits on a stool with a wind up switch in her back 
I touch my face but it feels like glass 
An elephant stands on top of the world with just one leg 
Two fishes

Premium MemberOne Love

They woke me
I listen, voices loud, louder
arguing with each other
my ears ring
then all the demons stop
speak to me, all of them
worthless, addicted, vain
destined for happy? snickers 
no woes just abstain? laughter
go kill yourself!
my thoughts hide away
bullied and drained
I put my ear phones in
chill on Bob Marley
“One Love, One Love, lets....”
bloodcurdling screams
sound of demons slain
I’m smiling,

Premium MemberHeavenly Hallucinations of Love's Divine Destiny

A wondrous spirit of true love now softly murmurs its echo
On the wings of God’s angels, as they ascend heavenward.

This and more occurs as radiant cultured pearls begin dancing
Their magical-mystical dance deliciously in the oceans deep.

With this, the bright-blue-mirrored waves of the oceans move
In a melodious tempo of love with the pearls as they dance.

Caressing

Hallucinations

Standing in a forest, birds call out to us and the smell of rain fills my nose. 
A boy stands tall in front of me with a black wolf beside him. 
His brown hair ruffled by a breeze that causes music from distant chimes. 
His tanned skin is scarred and dry. 
His blue-green eyes are

Wedding Hallucinations

I see sparkles
I hear wedding bells
Bright sunny day
People make way


I stand in the middle 
As I see him
Looking at me, dazzled
His eyes talk to mine
Causing my eyes to shine


His dark hair neatened
With his dark tuxedo straightened
Handsome is less to say
As my eyes hold his


I swift the floor in his arms
My eyes filled with delight
I see

Hallucinations Pt2

I've been lookin' in the mirror 
The future is blurred, the present is here 
I'm lured and stirred 
In a maze, and I'm too insane 
you will gaze in this if you can hurt 
Cause when you are raised in with choosing pain instead of gainin' faces 
You knew to learn 
The ways of this
