where oddly I find

[anirbas]

waking nightmares upholstered in the passionate
colors of steadfast black purple and crimson
laced up with verted ribbons of misery
frayed with confusion along narrow breathing halls
fingertips trace the next step along undulating walls
before feet follow in their wake on moving floors
so dark in places I cannot see my own soul but I know
it is still there I can feel my thoughts where oddly I find
you are also embedded in this rippling time tunnel dreamscape
though whether you are here as victim hero or villain I do not know
I can't see your face I can only smell you and you smell
as good as you do in the light of daytime and reality
like saddle leather gunpowder fire and desire

A well painted picture anirbas. Though quite disturbing in some ways.

Thank you for the read and comments, Darkness. Disturbing? I love that adjective concerning this piece.

It was initially inspired by a disturbing dream I had awakened from that morning. You know those kind of dreams
where you're not sure, if it was a weird dream or a nightmare. Haha.
