My Last Night In A Dream
Unofficial Challenge By RMS
Pulled from my sleep
and silken sheets
into a world made just for me
Where darkened dreams
and dark thoughts seap
Like water rushing
over me
My feet afloat
glass mirrored scenes
The sandman spoke
of what would be
While helplessly
I'm lying still
And breathlessly
relinquish will
While world's change
before my eyes
The body aches
connecting ties
The skin
a sentimental taste
I'm dreaming
though I'm still awake
Another place
where time escapes
A nameless space
of unseen faces
The heart still beats
to keep the time
And souls compete
as silent mimes
Nothing makes sense
and all things do
The air is dense
and wet with dew
Memories run
like bleeding wounds
Words left undone
touched by the moon
That lingers still
till morning comes
Upon my sill
a beating drum
Announcing to fate
the dream to end
Allowed to awaken
once again
Until the midnight
gathers to claim
My childhood frights
call me by name
Into the world
that sandman rules
He wields his sword
a dreamers fool
One day my eyes
will close for good
Neath eerie skies
where truth is obscured
