In a state of disrepair...

0 posted 2007-02-08 05:34 AM



Echoes are a nightmare
a dream a dirty smear
across a midnight stair
some private little seer

Reason is so far away
and apathy two hands
clutching undead roses
and dirty bloody sand.

Sleep brings one single lie
and waking fills the mind
with sounds that will not die
and a hundred broken sighs

No solid subtle something
to hold up and declare
The numb near nothings
are eating all the air

What is the sense in this
when all too easy to dismiss?

And ruefully amused
Well, what is a grin to do
when smiles are abused
and gleefully removed?

Now it’s gone! Oh, dear
I think that I was near
to nearly being clear
in this comedy of fear.

If you know what the hell this means
please feel free to pass it on to me
if indeed it is more than it seems
and not just some fevered dream.

"They will plunder all your dreams
And take away your teddy bear... "

Excellent prose and read...
you remind me of someone
very much enjoyed the darkness within this
the yearning to know more....

Excellent, incredible, awesome write
