On the Edge of a Dream

Dream Series I

The cords loosen I
sink down, waves
Crash upon me. Thoughts
float freely, each fleeting
diminishing

So then did I feel that weariness at
Its zenith.
the binding of life fell away,
almost entirely.

misquiet creeps
in; a cat stalking
My heart quickened, but
i could not move.

Then did I know,
who was awaiting me?
that Denizen of the deep places
in my heart.
He who knows me only as
a puppet master could.

Too late now.
Too late to
change course; I
Feel those shackles
fall now, And
the Noose tighten.
I wait in
horror for

Him.
