Sleep, is a nightmare, come to rest

These hands upon my body, pressed

Have they come to haunt my being?

Or is this an illusion, I am seeing?

Still I sleep, and do not awake

But I can feel my body quake

And tremble, like the ground that shifts

Yet, no words are falling, from my lips

I continue, to lie here, to contemplate

Knowing, these nightmares, seal my fate

Once upon a never, such moments, lived in strife

She’s always chasing rainbows, lost in another life

Dreams become illusions, fantasy fills her days

Leaving her wanting, and restless, in so many ways

Stuck inside, a mindless state, impatiently, she waits

For emptiness to fill the hours that time cannot abate

Dedicated to denial

She refused to believe what she had seen

All the lies and fabrications

Began to unravel at the seams

 

Caught in her own confusion

She denied she was ever wrong

She lived in a world of illusion

Something he knew all along

 

I had the pleasure of collaborating with the Divine Ms. M!  Michelle’s words are in italics, mine follow.  We hope you enjoy!!

We always tip the scales of time

When imagination guides the way

Angel prays for justice

While the Devil wants to play

Creation can be an illusion

One we never can debate

Without the conflict of these two

One for love and one for hate

Will the powers that be triumph?

Or will the evil always win?

Though purity is less and less

There seems to be more sin

The nightmares keep us dreaming

Though this is not what we should do

Awaken the promise of tomorrows

With the light that can break through

Perhaps the man in the moon
Is not a man at all
Perhaps he’s just a little boy
One who’s rather small

He likes to hang around by day
In the light, he can’t be seen
Swinging merrily, above the clouds
His expression, quite serene

But, the only way to truly know
Is to awaken from your dream
Sadly, that would chase him away
And that’s really too extreme

So, let your imagination take you
Let the sandman lead you on
Before the light of day appears
And the illusion, all at once, is gone
