Rinse & Repeat

Rinse & Repeat

If I could turn dreams into reality,
I might just do so. 

Each and every morning
I never wish to wake.
I have unfinished business
in the palace of my mind. 

I dread the subtle peak that will reveal
the predawn light, creeping though my window. 

I want to fly a little bit longer, 
kiss my forbidden love. 

I long to fight a little bit longer, 
save another soul. 

I wish I could feel the rush of freedom,
the simplicity I get in my dreams, 
in my waking hours. 

But it's just 'rinse & repeat'
work, home
work, home. 

"If only I could sleep a little bit longer..."
I think, maybe it could be real. 
I can slay another dragon, 
find another world.

Then my alarm goes off
and I sigh in denial. 
I hit snooze once or twice
then begrudgingly accept 
I have to be at work in 20 minutes. 

The dream is over
and it's time to come back to reality.

I wake up every morning and it's the same cycle and every morning I don't want to get up. I have wonderful dreams that I write down so I can remember them all and cherish every little detail. I've even trained myself to lucid dream. I've had my fair share of nightmares though but those stopped after something that happened a few years ago that felt like more than a nightmare. It was why I decided to learn to lucid dream. The ending is me every morning...I'm often late to work lol glad you could relate and enjoyed it :)

Alive

Alive

Yes I still exist
dare I say,
was I missed?

Alas though
I am alive
here...

Mind's Abyss

Mind's Abyss

To dream a dream
of voices long thought dead,
still they scream
and linger in my head...

The End

The End

Please,
hold me in your arms tonight
for my soul is fading,
devoid of light.
