Fingerprint Cliché

My dream took me into the darkest reaches of my mind

So far inside I met the black part of me where it all is

The grief of my dad who only recently died

All my past actions that hurt people and caused pain

The wrong parts of me still alive and hiding there

All this and more that I forget upon waking

A natural barrier that can’t be penetrated just now

It takes a special journey and effort to go there

A combination of exhaustion, feelings and hard liquor

And other background things make the trip possible

Thrusting me into this dreamscape nightmare

Where the clichés are real and words utterly fail

Leaving emotions as the language and currency

In this world that exists in parallel to ours

Where we don’t belong nor can stay long

A world that will exist till the end of time

When humans are nothing but dust and a memory

You can’t invade this world nor defeat its army

Not even death rules absolute here

It is ruled by dreams and their guardians

They left their fingerprint upon my day
