Morphed Dreams In The Heart Of Hallucination….

By Zhee

Dark and hungry, the specters
Abandon dominions of the dead,
Emerging from the anarchic core
Seek refuge inside the head.

Rancid voices viciously excise
The amputated sense of verity,
Morphed visions rip and ravage
The wasted pleas for charity.

Fears breech gilded barricades,
Slivered sanity falters behind,
Mangled hands futilely scratch out
Glass shards from the bleeding mind.

Traversing into realms of insanity
Dreams lament their demise,
Now the rampant nightmares
Just stab the open eyes…
