I linger in the doorway <br />Of alarm clock screaming <br />Monsters calling my name <br />Let me stay <br />Where the wind whisper to me <br />Where the raindrops <br />As they’re falling tell a story <br /> <br />In my field of paper flowers <br />And candy clouds of lullaby <br />I lie inside myself for hours <br />And watch my purple sky fly over me <br /> <br />Don’t say I'm out of touch <br />With this rampant chaos – your reality <br />I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge <br />The nightmare I built my own world to escape <br /> <br />In my field of paper flowers <br />And candy clouds of lullaby <br />I lie inside myself for hours <br />And watch my purple sky fly over me <br /> <br />Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming <br />Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights <br />Oh how I long for the deep dreaming <br />The goddess of imaginary light<br /><br />Adam Zank<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/imaginary/
