THE COLOR OF DREAMS, Pages 5-9







Walking through time

Thinking of you

Receding from yesterday

Turning towards tomorrow

Waiting

For

The sun

To

Chase away

My

Desperation

Inspiration

Reverberation

Pushes me forward

Past

The spawn

Of

Living carnage

Wallowing

In

Decadent squalor

Contained

Restrained

Some call it

Freedom


Dreams

Have a color

All their own

Swirling colors

Shake my body

Taunt spectators

No longer awed

By

Ethereal mysteries

Revolving forms


Time stands still

When you're not near

Diminished desire

Tells itself

The fire will return

When

The moon

Is

Full of light


Selling the nation’s youth

In

Every possible way

Preaching accepted truth


They devour yesterday

Regurgitate a thought

Imitation

Indoctrination

They claim

To

Despise

Content

To

Gorge themselves

Secure in knowing

The familiar stranger

Danger that’s not danger


Exposing breasts

Not meant to nourish

Her flesh calls me

With eyes that dare me

To

Not be human


She loves me

She hates me

She destroys me

Then wants me


Preludes end

Sometimes

They take flight

Sonic memory

Forgets itself

Abandons all

For

That

Still to come


The rains

Have not yet fallen

But

Soon they will

Torrents

Of

Silver rain

Radiating auras

Into

The vastness

Of

The Milky Way

The steady percussion

Of

Premonition


Seven colors

Of

Time

Remind me

That

Everything is relative

As we

Orbit a star

Floating in space


Another trip

Around

The

Sun

Leaves me feeling

As if

I’ve been here before

As though

I’ve been striving

All my life

To

Get back

To

Where

I’ve already been
