Here Comes The Rain

Cross between a dream or nightmare and my interpretation of it. I hope you enjoy

The Earth�s quivering heaps
silently cracked standing still
my heart laid dormant
preparing for a storm
Sleeping the sleep of the justified
but I haven�t slept in days
and no rest in sight
Translation of dark emerald grey
Fold and fall away
Morpheus�s lips drip wet
Upon his
Painfully passionate kiss

Embracing the darkness
As it chases the loneliness
of the light away
Falling deeper into dreams
Wishing to never awake

Sweet whispers speak

"Hold on to me
child of a mother�s
loveless love
Together we will fall
into a bottomless pit
Where we will
continuously drift the rift of time"

Empty souls join
Embodying danger

"Give yourself to me
Let yourself dream
I have such wonderful
Nightmares to bring

Sleep�sleep...just sleep
Maybe tonight I will take pity
upon your sleepless soul
Give you a chance at rest
Before I make you awake
with nightmarish screams
As you swing nicotine stained fists
at imaginary beasts

But you must sleeeeeep
So I can come out to play
Dark creature intertwine
Wooing in the pain of your mind
I will continue to
Talk sweetly in your ear
to remove your fears
Give you hope once again
This time you could win
Spin my beautiful lies
As I steal your life
Before the light of a new day
Chases me away"

Such a scary dream to have, I can only imagine how a dream such as this would make me feel. It's beautifully written, so much so that it's easy to get lost in the words. As Brenda mentioned it does bring to mind depression but also of conflict. It almost as if there is a struggle to be free of something that feels bigger than you. I can definitely relate to that because I feel that way now and then too. How terrifying and helpless it leaves us and even worse, so vulnerable. Great writing, Robert you really took us there with you.

Omg Robert, this was absolutely amazing and I have to add you couldn't have used a more fitting pic to go with your piece.
Insane ramblings of an insane mind it would seem, the problem with most of us is that we never completely shut down, so a peaceful night is something that just exists in a dictionary - If you ask me.
Hmm, seems like I need to take a wander into that mind of yours, I would love to see what you see sometimes. You always have such a refreshing way of looking at things. Sometimes so ordinary but you turn it into a brilliant work of art.
Keep them coming, I am enjoying the ride!

I know how you have battled with not being able to sleep. I hope that someday you will be able to shut down your head enough to rest.

That really stuck in my head and i love the flow of it. This sounds like a person that is troubled and isn't so much depressed but desperate to find peace within their own mind and soul. Very powerfully said.

The mind swirls as it usually does when reading your artistry. Such passion expressed so vividly... A really powerful write. Nightmares can be so cleansing... obviously this one was fruitful in more ways than one for you. Really well done. Cheers.

[Brenda Sue]

Very well written. The imagery and the flow are perfect. It made me think of someone suffering from depression. Wonderfully penned. Great job.
