the dreamlife of angels

Folder: 
2004

he retraces each footprint as they scratch the surface of dissolved time

in this city of dreams



this city of crushed dreams and fallacious economic down spiraling

They say he can't have every dream come true or even most of them

but he only asks for one, and i don't think that's asking for too much



what do you dream of?

the dream of love and eternal peace

the dreamlife of angels

the dream of change

the dream of honey masque paradise



the dream of endlessly tumbling hand and hand with the one desirable creation through silky clouds thousands of miles above this earthly embodiment



hence reality is the helium balloon each child sinfully rejects into the sky to be forever lost



He really has no idea of what's real

each filled with fateful poisons of rejection and hatred

it is here on the edge of his lips

please take your sip slowly for you haven't a lifetime to fade

to take what is offered is anorexia at its best

for even if it will causes him a thousand deaths

to soar a thousand miles through a thousand lifetimes

an arrow for each

pierced through a thousand souls

each one like him yet none are who he is



the faceless man that is a detached part of who he really claims

a mirror serves to only show exactly who he is not

it is a reflection of the distorted images meshed into an intricate web of deception that the world takes for truth

where lies smell like the boy next doors

where lips do move



He parts his lips and inhales deeply of the lies making them a part of himself, or him a part of them

words are insufficient in the entrapment of the dreamlife

they are suffocated beneath a thick layer of procrastination



words are less than meaningless,

trash that clutters the world until no one can even see the entanglement of lies that obscure that grain of truth



this is love, utopia is the end of dreams

the land of emptiness



if such a thing is true what is one to look forward to the outstretched arms of tomorrow

are these arms torched with gasoline and spiraled thorns

the journey to the dream is happiness, the finding of the dream is the end of all



each eye queerly rolls in an abnormal pattern

contemplating the purpose of each dying minute

that serves as an unequivocal representation of what was never meant to be

and that which will never come to pass



for fate has the greatest of interventions
