These Dreams

Cities Of The Subconscious

A deep, dense fog contains me

My heart is pounding in my chest

The full moon rises high

I struggle to free myself

Shadows seem familiar

Though faces seem hidden in the mist

I close my eyes for clarity

Nothing is what I think it is

Time loses it’s existence

A shadowed face, fingerless hands

I fight the urge to stay

My body weakened by commands

To stay here without question

To live my life amongst the damned

Floating in the air

Lost and locked away - in a masquerade of dreamlands

Can the hero make it

Can he save me from this dream

Before I float away

In this fast flowing midnight stream

I’m sinking below the surface

My breath like bubbles in the current

Held captive in the flow like a lover on the hunt

At last I’ve been delivered

My body ravaged by the torment

Of this I am convinced

Nothing in dreams explain the events

The mind the last frontier

Unexplored and never tamed

Faces remain unknown

And the content- unexplained

surreal poetry
