A delirium

there are dimensions of time

sometimes entered

not always of ones own volition

a sort of hyper reality where the world

becomes a darkness with red lit shadows

It’s as if time slows down

so it can be experienced frame by frame

as if the consciousness has become

separated from the being

it is the slow decent into something unknown

of which, at this stage

it is unknown if the author will be able to

or even wants to find the way back

for there is a welcome in this wasteland

that makes melancholy love of unknown pleasures

where all looks are concentrated

fixed yet constantly absent

and on looking skilfully

it can be figured out

what terrible riddles

have been created in the head

those who know when and how it is

those who sail in memories

who are terrorized by the imagination

and who get angry with God

ask a question a simple question

which is always the same

as is the answer

an answer that resembles

the rise and fall of cryptic waves

that ebb and flow

scorching a shore of silent sorrows

lapping ferociously at the

arc of a whirlpool within the mind

whose decreasing concentric

circles **** one down

into an eternity of terrible beauty
