"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today."


My brain throbbing against the borders of perception
Praying for suspension from this reality
Craving the simplistic rollercoaster of fractals
Surrendering to distorted thoughts of impending doom

Waves of uncontrollable static frequencies
Absorbing into my vision
Succumbed to the illusion of the continuous loops of crystallizing oxygen atoms
My eyes open to the fourth dimension of the atmosphere
Observing my flesh encased appendages
Disintegrating into figments of imagination
Nothing but deception

Volcanic electricity erupting deep within my tendons
Bursting at unfathomable rates
All time and space cannot keep up with my physical being
The body in the room I have succumbed myself to
Where the laws of my former reality are nowhere to exist.

Immobile and frightened
I push the limits of my own will to keep going
Fighting decisions only causes anguish
Allowing nightmares to construct a prison of horror
Trapping me within the insanity
That’s coursing within the thin membrane coating my internal structure

Morphing into the mutated seed
Planted in the corners of my subconscious
Shadowed by my tenacious egotistical denial
Unreachable to my waking eye
To slowly grow into the white sun daisy of grace
Leaving me breathless from the wash of ecstasy I’ve succumbed myself too

Dragging me to the chilling dark abyss below
My free will and abstract thoughts drowned and suffocated
Internal and external affairs dying in the process
Waking up on the other side

Laying down looking up above me
Noticing the angle of the earth’s crust below me
The sky open as the sea
Falling into its nothingness
The colors echoing in the vast blue stretching across the horizon
Gobbling up my attention

Falling up
Yet my body remains chained to the solid earth against my backside
The unnaturally flat cement
Bristled against my contouring shoulders
The gigantic roasting ball of gas beaming down against me
Blinding white cotton swimming in the weightless atmosphere
Something my physical being forbids me to do

My mind lost in the exposed sky
Teasing me with sweet delights and an intoxicating sense of purpose
Freedom at its finest
Yet cursed with the inability to appreciate its breathtaking appearance
Gifted with the graces of a god-like minimalism
Surfacing at the creation of the colossal planets
Elements tossed into the unfathomable emptiness of space
Conjoined by anatomical combustion and bonding

Auras and passionate pulls lie unseen
Within the fabrics of existence and physical objects visible
The universe longs to continue adapting and expanding
Endless development and upgrading
Leading to the unavoidable creation of life

Existence would become meaningless
Without eyes made capable for visual interpretation of nearby environments
All reason would become benign
In the gut of atoms
That vibrate into image
The substantiation of life is the result of universal auras
Coursing through space
Instigating the chain reaction of the unlimited future outcomes
Bleeding out and expanding
Across the valley of unavoidable development

Overwhelmed with the many exploding ideas upsetting my perception
Opening all doors around me
Leaving no stone unturned
No possibility not considered worthy
Of appearing in this reality

Never again will I forget the phantom importance
That shy’s away from my line of view
When my face displays the clutching and petty dense earthly worries
Hand in hand I walk with my accepted sense of self-worth and mystifying purpose
Perhaps to always remain unsolved
Until the clock turns its last hand for my physical stage of being
To then become a part of the fourth dimensional genuineness
I once visited before


The author's comments:
This is one of my finer works that recently poured out of pen. Its based on the idea that "things aren't always how we perceive them". I could consider this poem a documentation of the moment my mind reached thoughts and questions that bordered the unthinkable. I can only hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
