through glassy eyes into the night

A poem about living trapped inside our dreams come true

full title: through glassy eyes into the night, into our arms, the life we seek


If someday in dreams you wake
to face your world with lucid eyes;
i hope you're not alone
you hear my cries
you find my hand.

Where death exists embraced
with life and love and skin on lips;
the ribbon that you hold
it twists and rips
and slides away.

In your imagined, surreal world
the day you beg will never break;
we are all we have
it's here to take
eternal night.
