The world is my
Surreal Dreamscape
As my dreams are
Life's Reality

When every night,
Your mind is a scatter -
But the only things
Your mind ever remembers
Are the nightmares.

In fearful visions of night,
Death is the common occurrence -
And isn't it here?

While in true everyday life,
I'm able to smile bright, happily -
And isn't that a dream?

But what are the twists,
In every piece there is
To the life each individual
Lives?

Dreams are surreal,
For dreamscapes -
Life is reality,
For the world.

Ever think on the opposite side?

The world is my
Surreal Dreamscape
As my dreams are
Life's Reality

La fantasma

Es la voz que habla en mi mente, The voice that talks in my head... Se enchansa por mis pensamientos, It expands throughout my thoughts... Siempre sabe lo qué estoy pensado, I always know what she's thinking... I promise you that it is about to get me, No soy la fantasma - soy ella...

Rombos

por Romy Lara El aire gélido se coló en la habitación y alborotó los papeles minuciosamente acomodados en el escritorio. Tronándose los nudillos de la mano izquierda, Julio se incorporó y cerró la ventana de un golpe. Afuera el cielo se caía pedazo por pedazo. Reacomodó el desorden que se había hecho en su mesa de trabajo, colocando cada documento en su lugar: los de etiqueta amarilla en la carpeta amarilla, los marcados con verde en la papeleta verde y así consecutivamente con cuatro colores más. Procedió a sacar un cuaderno de portadas negras de su

Real Estate

The cost of intellectual property has gone up. I can already feel the ideas curdling like milk, Strings of silver silk lining Tangling it up so neatly-- A package for the loan-shark in my bed in the morning. A message to my lover, to whom I owe such a debt: All you ever do anymore is take. My poems crumble at the touch, Fading into the clusters of Sunday brunch and Family Guy reruns. What's the price of the two seconds of quiet Without a pile of unfilled lines awaiting my autograph Ruffling through the papers you'll have me sign- What wouldn't I give to sign with the devil, over you... Teetering on the corner of thought, My pen limp and b

Shamayim

The ancient land of Shamayim was wrought by El the ever-fair, together with his favoured son, Yeshua Gentle-Hands and their beloved wisest counsellor: a man called Ruach Breath-of-El. And ne'er were three such faithful friends and ne'er did three agree so well -- that aided one must aid them all. Thus prospered wondrous Shamayim. The people built a throne for El of golden bough and silver limb with crystal lilies trailing down, all glowing in his brilliance. They sang and danced and played for him and reveled in his radiance. Yeshua sat at his right hand and 'twixt them oft was Ruach found. Yet many times he wandered out towards Shamayim's f

14. Metal Mettle

I was born with a silver tongue, Copper eyes and a gold heart. A grain of salt in my head and skin of obsidian. The silver has tarnished, But it stays slick with lies told , And untold. And retold. My lips seem bruised and discolored, poisoned by the silver within. The copper has oxidized, Turning blues and greens under the force of the salt water of my tears. And all the strife they have seen. The golden heart starts soft and pure Shining in the sunlight. But it is soft. Malleable All too soon it is dented. And pieces taken. It is better known as Fool's Gold, When it glints in the light to attract another. The grain of salt becomes a pearl that is my brain. Over time it shall mold Rolled within my cavity, an irritant until it is beholden as some fantastic beauty of nature. My skin is obsidian. Beautiful and Smooth Shattering off with any amount of force, Sharply cutting to those that try to touch me wrong. I am a treasure trove, Of precious metals and beautiful things. I may

Making Jam

Poetry is word jam. Boil down the natural sweetness of words And add the sugar of imagery, alliteration, assonance, allusion, figure of speech, meter, and rhyme to taste.

All's quiet in the deep

Fanged tendrils of forbidden thoughts Twisting with a purpose Squirming to be said, to be made flesh Calling from beyond the veil Moving slowly in the black still water They whisper Fears and doubts, Clouding the edges my eyes in red haze Tempting me with truths And lies. I cannot speak them The words that fester beneath the blade of my tongue Itch for a voice through which to manifest They pester to be named A venom coursing through my veined and slouching heart Daring my lips to part Stop now, cease. You are in violation. There is nothing to see here, Nothing to say. My jaw must stay still And silent Smiling and clenched Do not say the words Do not hint It is betrayal The thoughts have been waiting there forever Wearing me down, Berating patiently Do not speak of them. Their existence is anathema. I have desires I dare not say, Effervescent dreams I could throw it all away I could jump I could fly That was a metaphor That was a lie Never mind, I take it back, Watch my

Girl on the dance floor

Swing swing silly swan On the dance floor. Make their heads turn Catch their eyes Capture their souls. You can do this, You can play dirty At their games too; And they'll let you win. Drink your sanity away And swing swing swing On the dirty floor. Short skirts, stained glass See-through shirt and Smeared make up. Let your heels follow your hips While you go down down down; Into pitch black pools where you down.

Floating Vision

Entranced I dance on my tiptoes, On my dreams I fly up in the sky. Lights flare up in 6 brightful circles; My souls burns in resonance. It's a fire, deep down its core Citadel is burning. The seventh circle's flames consume it, eating at its borders. Hear me Child: the AIs will stand tall at the Peak, Holding the lights and power over the people gathered at the Spire.
