DREAMLAND
I'm frightened by the infinity of the world
I'm scared of what comes after death
Is there anything at all?
Or just our bodies left in a mess
Some thoughts are fleeting and don't hurt the soul
Some are parasites
And when you see the man in a suit, and he's tall
There's only hope for the light
Last night I had a dream
I was insane in it
It has its plans on me
I was captured
In my own mind, again
When I was sleeping
It terrified me again
There was a vision
Of how the war begins
Missiles were chasing each other
To defend or kill
Last night I had a dream
Adventures I was involved
It forces me to take a role
In his fiction
How it's told, willfully
Do I own this dream, or it owns me?
His shadow follows me
It cannot catch me up
But it will chase me in both worlds
There's nowhere I can hide
He is constructor of my dreams
Combining frames for me to see
He takes my feelings and my thoughts
And turns them into sights
Then the morning will set me free
From my horror of the night
But I'll be crushed by his terror
I can not stand this fight
You think of dreams as mellow
Fairy tail to protect you from the darkness
But mine is not that narrow
It has its means to torture me, repeatedly.
This time I will try to make a guess
How long will it keep me in the cell
Never will I want to be a guest
In a story that he tells
WHO BURNT THE BABY?
A crowd of people in the room
But I was the one to blame for
Who burnt the baby
While I was the only one to save him
Nobody cared then
Who even left him waiting?
Near running gas spouts
Under no surveillance
Now you blame me for it
I didn't even know about his presence
The baby left alone, just abandoned
I didn't even see the fire that raises
it's been you who left him waiting
Near running gas spouts
Under no surveillance
A group of people, other room
They put some tests on
Cigarettes
I asked what they would test it for?
They didn't even know the answer
Water, I need some water
Can't get enough of it
In this state, I'm searching
For a drink
And out of closet something round fell
Why someone's hiding this
Rotten watermelon?
Long time since I was important
And you were a pleader
Stolen heart with a chest wide open
Now, I'm the lead, but not the leader
Stuck in this psychedelic fever
INSIDE A NIGHTMARE
I knew exactly where to go
To avoid his presence
But instead I led the way
Exactly in his trap
It was a room with round dimmed windows
Filled with hypnotic scents
Divided by two in the middle
Arc below the step
There wasn't such thing as panic
But it was still alarming
I'm not sure if there's an option
To turn back and go away
He takes control over my body
Just manipulates
And treats me like I am a puppet
Nothing I can contrapose
The air war sedative...
we feel down to a sleep
in the farthest
half of the room
on the beds
under the arc
When I woke up, it was already dark outside
A faint moonbeam danced upon the chamber's wall
On blanket white that swallowed me robustly tight
I lost my voice, it was diminished into moan
The ghost approached (ghost approached to me)
A paranormal floating blob
He took my soul (took my soul from me)
It was an effortless assault
With a grin, it vanished from sight,
Leaving behind a trail of a fright.
Let the darkness recede, let dawn's rays glow,
In the morning light, we will overthrow.
WILL YOU LOVE ME
PART 1
THE TRAM
Tram rattled on, groaning beast
Taking me who knows where
Mind is a canvas so blank
Devoid of memories
Tram rattled on, groaning beast
Into the windows I stare
Outside, the world drowns in haze
Houses diving in a mist
Next stop I will disembark
It's time for me to move on
Realm that's dramatically pale
Accepting me to go in
Roaming in fields filled with mud
Surrounded by wind's cryptic tone
Confused, I proceed in this maze
Coming across a high wall
Rising upon to the top
Following its narrow path
Minutes of walking atop
Unbeatable barrier appears
THE HALL
Shadows materialized
Into a female figure
Pointing below at the room
Open-air place, her invite
Over the fence, I comply
Landing down into a couch
Some kind of lounge, I assume
A shelter for any lost soul
Next we proceed to the hall
A long sequence of quirky doors
I reached out, pulling her close
“Will you love me?” - then she asks
PART 2
Moving through this corridor
Frames represent puzzle pieces
This kind of place nothing describes
Except for one chilling detail
THE DARK STRANGERS
Dining guests sat in a batch
Faces full of hollowness
Two figures roamed among them
A stranger with his perfect match
The beast in the size of a man
Maw leaked in a crimson cascade
Person himself in a cloak
His stories were out of sense
Hoping to slip outside
I'm heading towards an exit
The figure appears in my way
Catching my palm with his hands
Ruthless claws of this rogue
Caused a tide of a searing pain
I ripped my hand free and escaped
Paying with blood in expense
A sprawl of the places alike
Chaotically stretched before me
My hand represents a despair,
A reminder of latest events
“Will you love me?” - I pronounced
The question hung in the white dense air
ASLEEP
When I'm sitting all alone, I'm crying
Cause I want another soul around
All my troubles are laid out on floor
I play them like a puzzle game
to fall asleep, close your eyes
I've seen the stories of my life, I never
never had in real life, I mean
It's automated fiction from my brain
Issued under common night
it can offer pleasant journeys often
however, silly shows occur at times
they can be annoying enough to wake me
So I then say myself
to fall asleep, close your eyes
then it's turning into a kind of pursuit
of the peaceful state to be achieved
but my threshold's down and noisy neighbors
hassle me, so I'll repeat, again
to fall asleep, close your eyes
When I'm being on my own I'm dying
All those fables in my mind are useless
They trick me, they hypnotize me
I will fight till the end
Cause I don't want to pass the control to them
Even though they will never retreat
I'm not giving up
