The lighthouse

Slithering tentacles glide atop
And s stormy abyss beneath 
One abyss staring into other's heart
Between stands the light,
desolate and discreet

When did the mermaids 
sing the melodious songs

Why did the mighty Neptune weep

What swallowed the mighty sun 

When did this eternal night creep

Years, months or centuries passed? 

Or has it been barely just a week

The upright slumber

Do I sleep when am upright?
A heavenly day and a beautiful life,
A day I live again and again.
Though the office, as we talk,
Or is it just a sleep walk?

A true experience that I see,
That vapour over my afternoon tea.
Or maybe a lived emotion,
Or merely just a practiced motion,
On repeat, till it maybe be,

That I have an odd, rare instance
Of lucidity, dreamless, sleepless,
A realization of my existence,
Voidless, transparency.
But here I go back to sleep,
Into that dream, into the deep
That plays over and over on repeat.
