Tiny dancer

Tiny dancer from my dreams,
Just out of reach
And outside of my present reality.

Where do you go during the long
Hard
Nights?

Whose dreams do you dance through
When not dancing for me,
and how can I keep you?

The silence seems to grow with the black of night
And it only drives the splinters of loneliness deeper,
But there is hope in that smile.

somehow dreams

There is a new writing that happens

that I WILL TO BE

when there are not consequences.

 

My art will not choke,

surely will not drown,

in this free space.

 

You could not stop the word,

not by ending the site,

because there is paper,

or destroying paper,

because there is voice and signals,

and not by endings my movements,

because of the mind,

or of ending my life,

as there may somehow be dreams.

 

Maybe,

somehow.

Sleep begs my surrender

You occupy my dreams;

is that a good omen,

or a warning sign?

 

Sleep begs my surrender,

but the words come first,

the words are always first.

 

Could tomorrow be important,

or will it be another day on the calendar,

where nothing of consequence happens?

 

I feel the warm, fuzzy happiness,

or not truly caring either way,

as I drift off in between these lines.

the smiling reaper has won

 

 
I stayed afloat, treading in a dream moat,
felt the Sandman's grains stuck in my throat,
and the sickle of death scrape against,
the back of my neck, cold metal,
take the burning hot kettle,
pour the water in,
and warm me up,
I'm freezing to death,
my hair stood on the back of my neck,
I prayed for my end,
he laughed,
he whispered,
he grinned.
 
"Not today, or tomorrow,
but my shadow walks with you,
I step where you step,
I do what you do,
and one day I'll come,
swinging my scythe,
and in the blink of an eye,
I'll steal your life."
 
The alarm clock went,
I rolled out of bed,
at first giddy, excited,
it was all in my head,
then I thought of work,
and what he had said,
he can't steal my life,
my soul is already dead.
