Nightmares Are Waiting

Writing metaphors 
          with psychedelic ink,
but they are living things;
          taking me to hell in a basket 
          of my own creation.

I open my mouth to scream,
           and out come flying wings
like seraphim fleeing flames 
            from my unkempt mind;
            a portal of delusion.

Psychedelic ink in lines
          of script like code,
entangling my brain,
          invading the hidden place
          where nightmares are waiting.
