Satanic Dreaming
Slumbersome satanic dreaming,
Destitute but peaceful seeming,
All the psychic senses screaming,
Pincered in the jaws of hell.
Mesmerised in lunar yellow,
Hypnotised and moving mellow,
Mute to kith and kin and fellow,
Fallen in an endless well.
Oceanside the breakers tarry,
Such a glut of pain they carry,
Overdosed, I cannot parry,
All the blows the seas propel.
Blues that segue into silence,
Storms a rolling rush of violence,
To the dark a firm alliance,
Sinking underneath the swell.
Houses casting shadows dreary,
Rank dilapidation weary,
Dreaming into ages teary,
Captured in a sorry spell.
Forests speaking ruination,
Prophecies of enervation,
Damnable the destination,
With the curses hitting fell.
Vexed the time — appalling malice!
Sick the cup and sick the chalice!
Buried in the ocean palace,
With the waves a lonely knell…
