Mares

Night mares living in a dream,

But it's always a nightmare.

Books of revelations, knights on mares

Signs of the apocalypse, no one cares.

Royal at Windsor, small men riding high

May the best man win; Anything Goes

In love or war, what’s left is what's to work with

All is fair when there is nothing left to share.

Starving from our own form of sustenance,

What keeps you fed?

The salt of my tears, the taste of my bread?

Is it the juice in my fridge, or the temperature I kept?

 

Nightmares each morning

In my head, crazy

    that this is always what had to be

Born with scArlet fever, but

    too stubborn to lay down and die.

Dedicated to the terra, mothered cradled tight;

Cometh from the land, for which may I steward

My rose bed, Care for the seeds I left,

    dreams with ample room

Reaching, stretching out toward the sun light

Morning dew left from the humid night, not arid

But thirsty, hungry for life

Hopeful, not every dream will I awake from

Hurting, growing pains,

    There is no more waiting on the Queen

 

Lost in translation long ago,

    messages meant to bring us closer

Expressions of honesty, left us drained,

Crucifixions for testimony, our hands stained.

There's no turning back, not staged

One chance, and sometimes we aren't ready yet.

HINT: Stay disciplined, no matter the night you kept

You've got this shit, 'slayed dragons in a world apart

Played every part: dragon, pilot, artillery, good shot,

    spotted, snake, spineless, a corrupt heart,

Found my fresh start, mastered the page,

Fell in love with the art, found the exit, in-sight

No clowns, no poltergeist, won't suck me in

Won't lose my fight, living in my dream,

A sixth sight, each night,

    guiding all 17 hands to new heights

Me and my Shire re-writing the end of times

The horsemen are covered in wreaths of dandelions

Little girls upon My Little Ponies,

    unable to control themselves

Too free to recognize that they are still screeching

Fauns in the new world, fallin’ out

Came to and just walked out,

    had enough Vanilla Sky

In control and it's lights out,

 

Living in my nightmare,

When I scream, does anyone else hear?
