My dreams became galling

My father's favor appalling
Birthed from different mothers

"The master of dreams is coming."
Down the cistern they tossed me
Their plan to kill me numbing

while words of tranquil elegance exude
visions of nature's beauty and soft light,
but it's not my muse which has taken flight.

fires neurons creating a torturous play field in my tired mind.

A life that you own yourself not
Of brutality and torture 
Of head and heart work
Of hunger and thunder

Put their huge hats on their heads

The British traded with Major Murfree,
a galling fire the redcoats did see,

Dark jewels In my weakness
Through rainbow colour mist galling dewdrops
