Dreamer

I’m left alone

With the clouds parted for the moonlight to pour in

As if the milky way has filled my glass

the deafening silence like a metronome in my brain

suffocating underneath the warmth of blankets

searching for the soothing surrender of my consciousness to be lost in slumber

Covering my eyes until foggy circles appear

And converge themselves into colorful pictures

youth, gain, future, resentment

I reach to grasp the intangible

Snakes are wrapped to keep my arms still

I lay there until my bones are sore

And I wake up in the morning

Awaiting when I can leave the land without dreams
