Dream On ...

Dream On ... Something that I had written a long time back and I suddenly came across it. I have got this penchant for light, darkness and shadows ... A vision that oozed The quintessence of all my nightmares Propelled me towards oblivion“ An abyss of abysmal atrocities My eyes dilated with the truth Darkness redefined The night sky without its power grid Blanked out of all its stars” Confused as pre-creation Chaotic as soul-destruction Perhaps“ Silent, even mockingly peaceful, Darkness without shadows Face without sorrows Life without tomorrows” Hell without fire Ice without water Agony without tranquilisers Yet“ I live, I perceive Truth and darkness synonymous I fall, arms outstretched To brace myself Suspended” By the umbilical cord of sanity.

What stayed with you?

A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.
