time creeps by
backward spinning clock
hands
hypnosis reversed
'5, 4, wake up now...'
my mind rots in slow
sweet decay
and the weary night
trudges on
clicking gears turning
over in monotony
thought process hits
overdrive, shuts down in slow motion
the swollen moon sank
into bottomless oceans,
and eternity fell through itself.
dreams engage
reality drips away like
melting clouds
one raindrop's
evolution, tsunamis curling over screams
crash and fade.
elsewhere we dream.
the space between
hallucination and clarity
it erodes into
hourglasses silverspun in wasted minutes
the tables turn and now it's you falling into oblivion
planets exploding and
i'm the only one left standing
eyes wide shut, mind
whirring in machinery
eons of nightmares and
alternate dimensions
flicker past in sequence
the irises turn to
stare behind closed eyelids
flutter, dart away
and the glass shattered with mute catastrophe
existence diffused
thoughts reincarnated
to reminiscent lightning strikes made of plasma
and haste
you lost yourself again, didn't you?
insomnia.
