The dream
My nightmare
The life left behind
Splintered memory of mine
Suffer me more
The lavish divine
Empty the wastebasket
Porridge syndrome
Questionable sanity
Languished in tranquil fallacy
Hoping the answer comes clear
Mourning the morning after
Caressing the fantasy clean
Morbid body language
Can’t see the scene
Pictured images of the future
Flashing in and out
Coming and going
Like some river edge
Washing the water
Ripping at the seam
Controlled empty pastures
Milk-less cows
Grazing in the fields clean
Drifting message bottle lost
Waves took to sea
Oceans came washing over me
