All the perceptions
Force their way
In the nightmare of mind
In the story of my life
Echoing around an empty room
Like a scream imprisoned in time
Turned to stone
It feels like an earthquake
Crashing inside me
And I’m falling through the cracks of
A psychotic holy war
Where hatred is true love
And I bleed
Without wounds
In a heap of broken images
Culled from the fields of battle
Now quiet and dark
I try to escape
Through that ghostly landscape
Hunting for beauty
Haunted by the steady hour
That grieves undone
Trauma disquiets unconsciousness
And the dead trees give no shelter
On the front line
Where the sunset explodes
Through the storm
At the horizon
Just long enough for me to gaze
Into that peaceful night
But it doesn’t take me
Take me
Take me
