Ripples of mental fractures
Goose bumps of mind treks
Deep sensations quaking

Dark voids of inner space
Deep penetrations impregnating
The most inner sanctum

Isolation so concentrated
Impenetrable jungle of mass confusion
Mental scars of razor blades

Black ghosts stand guard
A deadly chill of absolute zero
Shattering shards of memory

Black hole siphoning negativity
Within the vast reaches of the soul
Draining life’s forces

The power to be understood
Lies in the most excruciating pain
Of fighting lethal demons

Suffocation from social norms
You seek the meditation
Releasing your worst nightmares

The implosion will make you insane
Or propel you to the next level of awareness
Setting you free without boundaries

Thought: To be enlightened in the power of life’s beauty, you first must navigate the darkness of your fears.

Well, this almost gave me a headache, it is so interesting.....and, I agree with your: Thought. It is absolutely correct.

Hmmmmmm...

Not much to say, except I have "astral projected", and didn't go insane.....
but when I realized what was happening fear brought me right back to reality faster than ~getting to where I was going before I left~. Make sense?

Also, I didn't personally have nightmares I literally lived them from day one....and never had those dark demons, some DO, though, how horrible.
Enjoyed.....greatly  


A real thinking piece. You are very talented, and I will look for more of your work.  Thank You.

Warm Regards,
Pat

Wow, extremely well presented with stellar vocabulary and images.  You're obviously a very deep individual and it shines through in your intensity and words of wisdom~

Take care,
