A journey through dreams where prophets whisper, and sirens lie, and where imagination walks among shamans, sinners, and dying fires.
____________________________
Sometimes, I imagine the most unimaginable,
playing with lightning within the clouds of doom
At other times, I dream the most indescribable,
part of another time, walking the hallways of gloom
____________________________
Sometimes, I visit the land of the sad throat singers,
their chords singing the melody - foretelling the end
Then there are men from the West - the tired gunslingers,
flames are dying slowly - the fires that they tend
____________________________
There are shamans from Tibet - humming ancient words,
and flutes playing softly, the lament of the damned
Lonely prophets in the streets - the ever-preying birds,
warning of the apocalypse, their words all crammed
____________________________
There are lonely gypsy women, with wings under their feet,
their crystal balls telling fabulous lies, all without shame
Sirens hungry for young blood with their smiles so sweet,
their seduction dancing the tango - a never-ending game
____________________________
I see the silent eyes of the mindless throng - ruled by sin,
smiles masking a thousand fetishes, all pleasure and lust
Tears of the guilty Midas, hiding the insatiable grin,
desires swirling in frenzy, their feet covered in rust
____________________________
I dream of the strange mer-people under the stormy seas,
the weight of the dark waters burdening their heart
Pale mermaids and their sad laments, begging on their knees,
weaving a million enticements, perfecting their art
____________________________
I dream of dense forests, under the humid skies,
the old, gnarled trees, standing a solemn guard
Roots gripping the black soil, upwards they rise,
the old gods sleep, their memories all marred
____________________________
Sometimes I imagine, and sometimes I only dream,
pastimes of a failed saviour and delusions of grandeur
Life is the darkest of all curses, and so it may seem,
users have failed the system, and He is only a voyeur
