In Thy Sleep

By Simonic

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Searching through bushes Bushes of torment Covered with dust Long forgotten The dust that chokes In thy sleep In the mind It chokes In the eyes It releases In the heart It wretches Webs fall upon the ground Upon the dust the web of lies Strung about this room Long forgotten The lies that blind In thy sleep In the mind It blinds In the eyes It reflects In the heart It mars Patches upon the ground Sewn in by thy hand To hide that beneath Long forgotten The patches that hurt In thy sleep In the mind It hurts In the eyes It burns In the heart It kills Walls that tower above thy head Hold pictures of what could be Never will they be for they are Long forgotten The pictures that cry In thy sleep In the mind It cries In the eyes It wants In the heart It fades Front of the wall It shines for all to see Never will they know Long forgotten That behind the wall dies In thy sleep In the mind It dies In the eyes It dies In the heart It dies The wall has fallen Fallen upon the patches Upon the dust and webs Long forgotten Another life lost In thy sleep Written March 1st, 2001 © on Sep 13 2001 10:35 PM PST   0 • 9 • 1
