Two Halves of the Earth
The rainbows spew from an open earth
Wide arms stretch out with dark mirth
An epic smile written on a soulless face
Where dreams are scattered without a trace.
I opened my eyes in the dimming light
Books piled high to shield my fright
Tossing in a sea made of winter sheets
Suffocating beneath the pillows heat
A purple light surrounds my bed
I'm softly speaking with the dead
Unknown to me is what they seek
What words of guidance can they speak
I roll myself into a tight cocoon
Begging that they'll leave me soon
I am not the saviour they wish me to be
They're feeding on my fear to see
The earth is slowly breaking into halves
Wide spread arms awaiting chosen paths
A shadow waiting on the bend
Of nightmares, dream scapes and revenge

Hopefully I will have an attempt at artwork to post to compliment this poem
