-
I and I stood atop a ledge,
An unfathomable crevice beneath.
I leapt, and I called after me,
"You fool!"
Neither I nor I knew how long I fell,
Seconds stretched to days, days to decades
In the conflux of two times:
One running its course,
The other languishing behind.
Unmeasured time is a cavernous room.
So I realized after I fell.
A cavernous room knee-deep in ash,
Littered with charred corpses
And skeletons seated against the walls.
Not daring to move a muscle,
Knowing any flinch would be scrutinized
By some unseen malevolence,
I sat for long hours,
Hoping I would come.
At last the evil took notice of me.
The gurgling of vampires filled the smog-laden air.
Sickened and panicked, I dug into the ash to cover myself,
But my flesh dripped off my bones like wax
As I burrowed into glowing hot coals.
I turned and stepped away from the ledge,
Muttering in fricatives,
Kicking up the dust.
"You fool, you fool!"

Did you know that there are dream books to converse whatever nightmares you have?, this is not about you burning in hell or anything like that. It's about the trouble you fill your up against with-in your own self! you may have something to hide, or be ashamed of...yeah I know about dreams. come and talk to me.k?
