Velvet Blue Dreams....

There is a part of me I cannot tell About the dark inside I know so well… It survives so deep in me within Where to start, I can’t even begin… Living within my velvet blue dreams Stitched in with silver at the seams Embossed with wishes made of gold Now worn threadbare as I grow old The warm embrace with comfort galore Wears thinner as the tighter I wore But a hole started opening in the ground As I got lost walking around and around Now the thorny walls grow ever higher As the hole deepens with all lost desire Dark and damp as I find myself lying here Scrawling to clutch whatever I held dear Memories pooling at my saddening feet Where my cold heart and swirling mind meet Feelings are lost where they got left behind Reality and fears meld in stories past and unkind From the bottom of this dark and dank well I see light fleeing from my eyes like an eerie spell Body broken and hopes are all but forgotten Flesh drips from my bones, putrid and rotten There is no escape as the walls are slimy and sheer No point in screaming, there’s no one to hear At last my inner peace I have finally found As I become one with this earthily ground… In the end, here I reluctantly lie in this shadowy grave My bones will the bottom of my resting place pave Happy that I am again returning into the earthen loop As my trusting friends the worms turn me to soup…
