Paralyzed Life
I wake up from another night’s slumber
With less memory than originally can be remembered
More fatigue
I think
I may just need some sleep.
But it’s hard to understand
when you’re living in a dream
A lucid dream
A paralyzed life taken
And shaken from the bed
Awaken to this world
Making a mockery of its universe.
Of course I wonder sometimes
If the life I live is really the life I dream
And the time I spend alive
I’m really just asleep
My life
Is what I sleep for
My sleep
Is what I live for
My dreams
Are not just a window to reality
But a means to open a door.
The clock strikes twelve
Signaling the door open
I want to walk through
But I’m afraid of what I’ll find.
Can a world be worse than this?
It finally hits
The pain travels through my stomach to my brain.
In time I may lose the fear
But for now I must face it head on
For Time is chasing me not too far behind
I try to lose it
But it seems to keep up with the path I pave
And still I close my eyes and carefully drift away.
In my sleep
I awake
and start to float away.
I picture heaven to be almost the same
just a little brighter and a litter less vague
but the feeling is still amazing.
Then, suddenly,
when I imagined things could not improve
I see her through the cracks of trees
that seemed to appear from nowhere and everywhere at once.
She is in the lake
like a siren
like a godess
She bathes nude as if no one could see.
Or maybe she bathes like everyone knows.
In any case I take view-
I peer through-
a harmless veuyer
I watch as the moon reflects light
off of drops of water dripping down her divine spine
She turns slightly
I see her face again for the first time
and am more in love than ever before.
She sees me hiding behind the leaves
and smiles, then quietly gives a giggle.
As I step from out of the brush-
As I step within the moonlight
She begins to fade.
I walk faster, with more haste
So that this time, I can still keep her face.
I go to reach
I stretch my arms
To embrace her body,
But she is gone.
She has disappeared with the beauty of the night.
The water somehow evaporates
as the wind picks up
the temperture drops
This forest has somehow become a desert.
I roam around with thoughts in mind
I roam on thoughts within my mind
The cold desert night seems to steal my life away.
I stray through the dry terrain
I cough a dusty cough
I half breathe
My chest heaves
Realizing the end
Searching for water
I drop to my knees
A tear drops from my eyes
As Time chases me not too far behind
I try to lose it
But it seems to keep up with the path I pave
And still I close my eyes and carefully drift away.
I wake only to wait to fall asleep again.
I am ressurected eternally.
