Dreams & Darkness...
By SolApathy
Summer's dream
Slowly escapes to the unseen
Waking to the sun rays upon my battered soul
Feeling the gentle warmth of the breeze
Upon my sins I amass my futility
Prayers unanswered as I desperately try to keep you within
As the dream of the night burns away in the light
I cannot fight
Would do anything to hold onto this diminishing dream
I feel the light invade and the anger takes hold
Can you understand the darkness I must control?
Must prevent this life from breaking my hold on reality
When I awake, I shake
Emptiness escapes and enters my soul
I smile intensely, though inside this mind
Nothing kind
Must...
Find a path to escape this reality outside the dream
Memories are my torture
Forfeiture
Of my freedom
Into the fierce clarity; I am the disparity
Of what is real, and what every day
…I feel
Slowly escapes to the unseen
Waking to the sun rays upon my battered soul
Feeling the gentle warmth of the breeze
Upon my sins I amass my futility
Prayers unanswered as I desperately try to keep you within
As the dream of the night burns away in the light
I cannot fight
Would do anything to hold onto this diminishing dream
I feel the light invade and the anger takes hold

Find a path to escape this reality outside the dream
Memories are my torture
Forfeiture
Of my freedom
Into the fierce clarity; I am the disparity
Of what is real, and what every day

I like what Stephen King said about reality: [it] "can taking a flying [you know what] at a rolling doughnut." Great poem! It flows nicely and is ethereal.

All dreams tend to die when we open up our eyes, it's up to us, however, to create new waking dreams. Once again, very nicely done. Reb:).
