I dreamed of a vast distance between my self and the iniquity of silent thoughts,
There was a meadow filled with the loud cheers of a thousand happy faces, frolicking carelessly,
Falling and meandering through the grass lands that shone brighter than any florescent light,
Somehow, I was carried and dragged into the current which sprouted and unfamiliar feeling,
As i moved with the crowd, I defied gravity and thus was overcome and drenched in the deep satisfaction of levity,
The hands of the ground underneath my feet held me up, for once, not trying to swallow me,
The arms of the sky above my head warmed me , for once, not seeking to crush me
Euphoria was inevitable and sunlight rushed like alcohol through my veins,
I fell among the sun flowers and lay motionless with them as they massaged my feet
Each time when they where tossed around by the steady winds that made them dance,
My eyes opened and beside me was a girl whose eyes where like brown sugar, her skin was caramel,
Her hair smelled like lavender and flowed down her back like a calm waterfall,
She smiled at me and my world was complete,
A conversation began and magnetic waves attracted our souls which each word we spoke
an electrical current surged and started a wild flame in the deepest part of my empty chest,
Empty because i had given it all to other and they gave nothing back; I made people rich in spirit
And became poor at heart; a heart of gold but cold like stones,
She looked deep into my being and saw the agony of my soul which starred back maliciously,
her warm hands reached into my ribs, her head rested on my chest, her fingers penetrated my ticker
and detonated a light so bright and warm, it shone a neon red, for the first time, I felt peace in her arms,
Though it was short lived, for the baby blue sky turned darker than coal and the sound of thunder echoed through the valley,
I opened my eyes and she was gone, I was astraphobic so i was petrified and alone,
I woke up in a cold sweat and peered out my window, there was a rainstorm on a cold dark night,
I pressed my forehead against the foggy dewy window and trails of tears trickled from my cheeks,
In a never ending stream, yes, the only thing that remained was the infinite emptyness i felt in my heart,
the voices came back, the shadows put me down, the earth tried to swallow me, the rains tried to crush me,
So i sat and starred emptily talking to m shadow in an empty room, my neihbours think i'm crazy,
So they called a van to take me to a happy place,
The bastards strapped me to a comfortable white jacket and kept me in a soft white room,
But I smiled. Not because i was nutty as squirel shit, but because every time i was injected
Or knocked out was another chance to reunite with my dream love in the meadow sanity far away
From the inequity of silent thoughts and the hearts of men which is not a consistent place,
In insanity, profoudness is a luxury which can be obtained through dreams and love
Norms which are invisible to the human eye; unfathomable to a non- fragile mind.
