Vivid Nightmares

Dreamer oh dreamer, you –
who are paralyzed in terror by the conjurings of your mind –
whose mind’s eye sees the blood yet to be spilled –
the cries yet to be heard –
the suffering yet to be felt –
Embrace the whole that is you –
Blinding light of the Angel –
The fire and fury of the Beast –
They are you, you are them

You are just a fleeting existence,
A daemon who stirred the ocean of unlife,
Cursed to see the truths beyond the veil,
Cursed to sample the suffering yet to come,
Dwelling in the cracks between shadows,
A soulless tool, witness it,
witness it all,
For you can bear this burden,
So others won’t have to,
Sleep,
Sleep

In the End…

In the end,

What awaits us?

What awaits the sinner’s soul?

Will God grant us repentance for our sins?

Or shall He be as Vindictive as the Book says?

We are but playthings in  His Great Game,

 Pebbles on the table,

Moved by an uncaring God,

Ours is the earthen misery.

What awaits beyond the Veil of Lies?
