I’m having nightmares so I wake up
To put them out
There’s trouble walking
I can see it
Airing about
I stumble up to not get caught
In the act
It’s making out
I make sure
I wake up
That I get out
I see backs
And scowls
Hear pleads
Sense hours
Time space
Contained
Electromagnetic
Pain
Connections trained
I Disengage
I’m having nightmares so I wake up
To put them out
A firefighter never said
I was about
Electrocuting open ends
Spraying
Thoughts about
I never said I’d reconnect
To put them out
I water fire
For its smoke
And smolder out
My System
Electric currents
Through her
No in or out
Even on sleep
I do not need
A peep
I’m not a keep
Awake entranced
In every realm
There’s not a chance
I’m sleeping soundly
Conscious life
In peace
Profoundly
I’m sleeping soundly
Without a shake or fret
I’m sleeping soundly
I roll and rest
Without lament
Or thoughts
For me
To fight off
Forget
I’m seeing troubles
For me not meant
Accidentally
Visiting
Deceiving
Beacons
Shining for me
Recourse direction
That location
Is boiling steam
Foggy cloudy mist
Quite dizzying
Capturing targets
Its unknown piracy
I’m having nightmares so I wake up
To put them out
No longer saving
Damoiseaux
And damsels
Distressed
Sailing through life
On constant stress
Refuse unfaced courses
Hand over to others
Their duress
Calm intercept
With a cried wept
So they can rest
A night’s sound sleep is just the best
Stilling your body
Your brain
Your head
You keep a mess
Above your bed
Your rest is just a test
Turn toss a little less
I do fine
I’m with mine
I do not care
If you can’t sleep at night
How you can sleep at night
Your life your line
You will not find
Aligned through space and time
Threads
Barred spiral
No entry galaxy
In this realm
We all sleep
In deep peace
Nightmares we put them out
Do not step in
To help demons out
Don’t feel a thing
We end things
Without a doubt
Wake up sing
Stage 3
Reenvisioning
What awaits at rising
Nightmares they do not blind
Conscious Dreaming minds.
I had to leave someone I love,
so they can learn how to love
Themselves
Don’t hurt the ones you love
By not
Loving Yourself
Love yourself to know love
Its greatest wealth
Rest without the stealth
Unprotected shielded
Salubrious
Shared inhaled wish
Very cautious words
Through parting lips
Vibrating tones annoying phones
Exciting daylight
Until you’re home
Lay still unfold
Travel at 4
Unrehearsed in purest form
Nightmares calling from brewing storms
I put them out
They’re not my door
I thought it knew
That this one Boo
Doesn’t play with monsters
Anymore.
