Sweet Dreams
no horizon
seas starved sky bleak
abyss where tubed monsters victims seek
thoughts like serpents
regrets black orcs
airless tides of fear where no one talks
scaly remorse

A heart may not be intact as it seems
When appears a fellow-spirit speaking
Words that can mend broken dreams
Her face was honest fair and strong
No beauty burnished her features
