•Contemporary Dream•
My mind begins to blink.
Rapid eye movement
It all runs by in a blur
as you and i concur but
our intelligence is drowned
as they shout and repeat racial slurs,
we are left frozen
on the stage of forgotten dreams
as tears teem
at the rims of our lids.
Slipping out
and off
of our lashes
into the gashes
of change.
Combined
our tears make rain
while pain fights its way
off of surfaces that time
has indifferently bonded them to,
all that is left is me and you.
You are
my contemporary dream.
At least that's the way it seems.
•Dreamer•
Lies live inside
i don't know why i deny and
cower at the thought
of my soul purging itself from my infected body.
Ripping through my chest wall,
and spilling onto the floor,
leaving me wondering if there's more
as my hopes and dreams seep through
the layers of concrete.
A visible leak.
Im left with no words to speak,
vowel- less
lips are useless.
Where am i headed?
My soul has found its heading
as im left ashore
empty,
no dreams can surface.
I have lost my purpose.
