REM Awakening

She recognised my face from a dream gone past, I knew her name and she knew mine. She promised we will meet again, and left me awake with a tearful smile.

I sat and tried to recollect the scattered sheets of my absent mind, in each of which I saw myself; a dreamer lost in faded greys, a barefoot king of a no man’s land, a monoprint of a no-one’s verve, a vagrant ghost in seas of sand.

I’m never hers, nor is she mine, yet I await her dream incarnate, for the wind that blew away her trace, is the storm to bring our sought out fate.

Behind the Smoke Screen

Black gods, black thugs,
Black dogs, black knaves
Eating the flesh of the frail in their caves

Black wings of black seraph
Black words in black staves
Are chanting thy murder, thy blood she doth crave

Black hearts of black widows,
Black wrath in black waves
Of inner cries—gone silent—outbursts in the grave

Black eyes in the burrows
Black tears of the brave
Black barrels from heaven, for those whom God saves

Black gods, black flags,
Black wolves in conclaves
Have turned this my Eden into a godless enclave

A Rage

I’m looking for a face, a face that I know well, a face that I lost and can’t be complete without. I’m looking for a face behind which lies a different soul. A face at which sight my whole existence ceases, and with a look from them eyes returns from the dead.

I’m looking for you, whom I cannot call, for I know not your name.
