Mar 2012
I dreamed, i had a dream, i nightmared
Live and awake and i dare
to speak when
like twilight burned bright
in passing of night
turns dim again

I was so in a haze
i didn't know what a haze is
so in a haze
i didn't know what day it is
so take a pleasant walk with me
one overfull of clarity
Come!
Won't you relive my hell with me?

The two minutes and thirty seconds after i awake
Gears not engaged - i had no hope then
my reality broken
by one that for those moments seemed so solid
in sleep even the wise can be fooled without knowledge
even our instincts can fall asleep
not recognize the illusion slipping like sleet
through cracked senses
like sight misses midnight
blue walls surrounding me
like hearing misses everything so i hear only stillness around me
like touch misses warm cotton sheets and heat
I am dancing madly in my restraints
I am a lunatic, entwined sensually, with misery and my mistakes
