Sinking deep and low beneath my conscious
Awake in a darkness
Familiar crossroad
And a destination beckons
The lights are extinguished
As the moonlight is lost to doubt
I’m lost amidst a foreboding feeling
Fallen, broken, caged. No way out
Crashing down upon the unforgiving tarmac behind my eyes
Alive but unseeing
Within grasp but no path
The tick of my chest reckons
A labarynth of alleyways appears
The shadowed lanes where people discard their dirt
A mass of sinister same faces pushing bins
Not quite hunting but omnipotent. My body. Inert.
Confusion
Distortion
Reality bends
Suddenly nowhere
The universe descends
Alone but connected
Defying man-made laws
No-one could see me
But believe me I soared!
Through unending dark inside I felt light
Inside was knowing with nothing in sight
Weightless and free my conscious took flight
And the universe shifted as I spun through the night
Fearless and free
From the chains of my mind
A thrill of excitement
Reaching forth from behind
Until
I feel a tug and it stops me quite dead
Where must I return? A blank space fills my head
I drift through the layers of uncertainty heavy like lead
And return to my body and remember my bed
Awake from slumber
Restless from seeing
Sensing the shifting
From outside of my being

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this after a friend encouraged me to make a poem of a dream I told him about. I’m not sure it’s great as I have written in between a busy day with my only sustenance a half cup of tea at 7.30 am. I toyed with the idea of a final verse but for now liked the idea of an abrupt end.

Good write Captain! You'll be Wonder Woman too, and Supergirl!
Thanks orchi, I’m not sure I have any satin tights, so had better stick to captain marvel
Although I found these words initially a little disjointed.. I found the underlying theme quite captivating... you might very easily have been referring to a number of experiences.. including outer body experiences like astral flight or projection.... There now.. that feels better N
Yes I felt that and I think it was because the dream was disjointed with missing parts. I also have a final stanza, a friend I shared this with said it seemed better with the last verse.
Thanks for persevering!
No problem, my middle name should have been Percy....
That was my grandad’s name.
I added the last verse anyway
now reads more rounded and complete...
Thanks for your stamp of approval buddy!
pleasure.... and tis all mine...
Good old bit of Coldplay to add that little spice!
A nice little write, Syl.
I have never heard cold play and spice used in the same sentence lol.
I wrote it in a little disjointed way, so maybe that’s what Brville sensed.
It was an awesome dream though!
Thanks for reading 😊
