Willingly lost in this hidden collection
A land-e-scape of lust to grant me consolation
within dreams of plastic bodies,
ardent sighs & growing heat
I burn, somehow just not alive,
though I still breathe
soul in a coma, the pillow bites the brain
with teeth of freezing quiet
bleeding lips of Cain
whispering to a fallen man
that still hasn’t forgotten the boy
Revived by watching others
Pretend to enjoy
Easily I forget how I fall after each storm
Easily I erase every trace of where I’ve gone
Yet you still haunt a sleepy mind
A prayer or a wraith?
So vivid when my days are long, twisted
& without faith
& I yearn to know what wonders you would bring
Though I always needed less
Backtracking just to lose myself again
Unsteady on my long return to consciousness
A half-rotten spirit made you its shrine
Invoked through a sin, yet you age like wine
Inspiring a broken man
Still wrapped up in white
Ripped between his fears
& a wish
for a lifetime of delight

Just kidding, I have to read it 😀
Come on man… Seriously? You have to set the bar that high?? Sir, you’re putting everybody else to shame with that kind of splendid work.
Everything here sweats genius, your style is undeniably great and the content is each time more elaborate.
Poetfreak, where amazing happens. No copyright infrigement intended.
I’ve been sleeping for too long, I gotta be splendid lol & yeah, I agree, PF is one of the wonders of the world.. you know I can’t thank you enough.. it’s impossible.
You are like the sleeping giant. The idea that you “wake” with poetry is something I’ve always thought about you – an undeniable talent masquerading as a careful observer. You balance yourself between dreams and reality and you use poetry to share what you’ve learned with us. You sir are The Dreamscape Artist. Masterclass in your field, my friend.
I don’t think it can getter better than Dreamscape Artist for me.. & I don’t need to hear anything else.. thanks for being here & following my work, & thanks for all the reviews.. 🙂
Dude, pass the lifetime of delight!
No, seriously. I want some.
And..
Why do I NOT think this way??
Amazing would be a under statement.
that did not come from the most pleasant experience, nor some dream I’d wish to fulfill, but I guess it sounds pleasing nevertheless.. thanks, bro, I really appreciate it 🙂
I do love seeing your dreams through your poetry, another great write!
thanks, man.. that means a lot 🙂
