Mechanical cyber erotic visionaries
speaking in unknown tongues
come to me in paranoia induced dream

Playing tricks on my feeble mind
hot metal burns the flesh
making me see a god
inside my mental prison

Craving sensuality from inanimate
icons of reality past
which call to me lustfully
turning my tainted soul
inside out

I wish I could sleep again
without the demons
crawling out from
under my skin
as I pop my pills
and pray to a saviour
I forgot in Sunday School
rhetoric

Laying my head to mortal sleep
on satin sheets
next to some
sexual fix
think of the meaning of life
before falling to sleep
in mental vomit.

So that's what you've been doing during your nights--and days?!? My goodness, after nights like those, I'd want to sleep all of my days away!

Brad, your writing packs power punches! Zowie!--smack dab in the middle of the solar plexus!

Tonight try a nice cup of warmed milk with some vanilla in it before you go to sleep!

~ Wishing you peaceful nights and dreams of sweet!

A nasty vision of a tortured soul of a modern world.  Grim and dark, I liked it

ah, yes, lust can be quite enslaving, a torturous master....if not having pulled closed our own door, many of us have at least visited that prison
very powerful write
