HEAT OF NIGHT

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
Carl Jung


If time is the 4th dimension, is the 5th stuck in a dream?
Parallel universes, is there something to see?
There must be a key, and I often wonder what could it be?
Step into my mind, let's look at what's in a dream...

A key to unlock the deepest of thoughts as Megan dozes to sleep.
She knows it's a dream, but for some reason she's frozen and weak.
Looking around at her surroundings, but she can't focus to see
It's all a blur, then what she sees isn't what she hoped it would be.
Her motions are free...free fallin to the ocean beneath
But for unknown reasons she's sinking at the slowest of speeds.
Like feathers easing down when the breeze is open and free,
She's forced to ponder death, waiting to hit the floating debris...

Have you ever had a dream where you stop breathing, Mike has.
He sees his life pass, dreams he's underwater and he needs a life vest
But it's pitch black, he's so deep the ocean's free from light's path.
So he grits his teeth, mustering up his strength to fight back.
Breathing's got him side tracked, he feels his lungs collapsing
Kicking, screaming inside but still his arms are thrashing.
A glimpse at the surface is worthless if he don't start relaxing.
Death in the hardest fashion, he awaits the start of a harmful passing...

If time is the 4th dimension, is the 5th stuck in a dream?
Parallel universes, is there something to see?
There must be a key, and I often wonder what could it be?
Step into my mind, let's look at what's in a dream...

Megan's screeching now, unaware of what she screamed about.
She sees light beaming from her fingers as she reaches out
The cold mist nipping at her open lips as she's sinking down,
Approaching death to the ocean's depths, moving in leaps and bounds.
And she's freaking out, as a light erupts from this devil's sea,
The brightest white developing, she thinks it must be Heaven's gleam
Until a face appears, the most handsome face she's ever seen.
She awakes with a shake, noticing her clock glowing 3:17...

Moment of truth, Mike and his conscience are in the cruelest debate,
Cause to give up is suicide, and he'd always been true to his faith.
Always believed drowning was among the most gruesome of fates.
And then a light erupted at the surface, he would do what it takes
A womanly figured suspended in mid-air, she was new to the place,
Never seen such a beautiful face, as the one in this beaming light.
But then just as she's in sight, he's in his bed leaned up right.
Just glad he's breathing right after his dreams in the heat of night...

If time is the 4th dimension, is the 5th stuck in a dream?
Parallel universes, is there something to see?
There must be a key, and I often wonder what could it be?
Step into my mind, let's look at what's in a dream...

What if a conscious reality was just the tip of the iceberg?
What if science was a running joke that left our minds blurred?
In dreams there's no pain, so in another world would life hurt,
And death be pleasure, since it's the opposite of our nice Earth?
What if our universe was actually a dual or a triverse,
And Megan saw people in another world that was exactly like hers?
If Mike saw Megan in our life would he even recognize her?
Would she be his wife, fall in love, or swoon over Mike's words?

We must embrace the blackness, dreams are the face of action.
The tickets to another world if you can just evade distractions
That rise up and take shape out of everyday attractions.
Look into your deepest thoughts, don't berate the madness.
You can't look at all the nightmares as innate disasters.
You gotta break the habits, fight back and make it happen
Because everything that takes place is just as fate would have it.
Even dreams of love are a science, you still can't fake reactions...

If time is the 4th dimension, is the 5th stuck in a dream?
Parallel universes, is there something to see?
There must be a key, and I often wonder what could it be?

I've shared my thoughts, now tell me what's in a dream...

double-post. frustrating as hell.

[SacriFICE]

11:59:59 - 12:00:00 -- passion that lurks

The darkest path, large and brash.
Seeming smooth till it reaches through with the harshest wrath.
Sparking fast... lurking like the pain,
inside the brain, frantically finding veins.
Despite the focus the tide will change.
Inside the locus of life, the hope isn't right.
Oceans of fright, explosions of emotional blight
controlling the plight, a moment in time...
The destination vaguely noticed, then frozen insight.
Maybe opened the next gate, preying over the templates,
of normalcy and dead-weight. Forced to breathe the temptations.


She awoke with the feet of ghosts, breathing slow,
as the demons she provoked were leaving no trace.
Speaking perforated, when even she chose faith.
The evening was cold -wait-, she needed her own space,
to let her soul break from the demonic advance.
The problem enhanced, danced in an ominous trance.
Conglomerates of the bottomless depths, followed her steps,
spinning the web for the capture, within her inner vision
the image consisted of limitless vivid laughter.
Minutes after, she awoke, she provoked
diminished rapture- even though-she's spinning faster,
leaving no trace, of the demon's possession.
Evil progressed within and controlled Faith...
her soul-shakes.

A darker path, sparked and flashed
allowing Faith to see, how proud they made believe
a cloud of plagues, diseased around the graves of each lost.
A breached trust, a weak cost for her deep lust-for-evil.
Destructive, lethal, disgusting, -people were much too feeble.

She submitted to the minions of infinity,
In minutes-she became a citizen of the flame,
the synthesis of the pain, and nemesis of the ways of God.
When minutes ago she wasn't kicking below the surface.
Intimate, close, with him and the hatred, she faced it;
-the purpose, she tasted, the Earth flipped and caved-in,
any trace of love, she faced above and erased it.
So abrasive, the power was contagious;
devoured the cowardice and the brave-less.
Then she was awakened

...created again; the brightest illumination extended,
her human face was reflected and used her greatness and strength
and it soon became suggested she knew the way it would end.
But she fought, exhausted and distraught:
and the plot thickened and caught visions of lost insanity,
and supremacy.
An awful enemy... Faith thought she'd never be,
made the cause of wrecking peace, and thought it'd never cease...


"I can't believe you came, are you insane?
I need the change, release the chains; the beast it made,
me sustain an evil rage. I didn't breath the same,
oxygen, I breathed the hate, my speech became
demonic.
An astonishing release of phonics and honest defeat.
So please remain, along the side of me today,
I know God has promised me a way, as long I can refrain
from the frequent pain, that creeps my veins."


The scene; it changed. The minion reigned.
Any who competed, retreated or were quickly slain.
Faith was eternally possessed, internally infected,
by the subversive neglect of the person respected;
the most. The evil within her rejected utopia.
Invested in the perpetual rogue, that never revoked.

Evil is within us,
the fight is only seconds in length.
And as evil is with us,
Take pride in your acceptance and thanks.
Because in the second it takes,
to fasten the hurt,
you'll become the consecutive prey
of the passion that lurks.

[Thaumaturge]

Did my verse to the picture topic of the topless girl scratching her back, for some reason it's loading as a red x for the meantime

A beautiful night---
The drapes of an open window float in the wind,
Candle flames blowing as a full moon luminates an oak bed with noone within.
Below is a bin holding pipes and a wallet with money that's missing,
And call it a crummy susp.icion, but I think someone's probably buddies with crystal.
Properly cubbied against it- a drawer with rusty equipment,
In rotten and musty condition is a card to mom the owner's obviously rushy to finish.
Outside the room is a shadowed body jogging and running the distance,
Just below their hand lies a washcloth~~
to cover the spot of how bloody their wrist is,
Naked trees sway to her steps, on her chest a moniker plushly is written...
"Blair"- a gothic druggy who listens to rock and punk in college studyin physics,
Always hung and got with the sluttiest bitches.
A paradoxical figure, her hair is soft with a glimmer,
The air her nostrils deliver contain the scent of angels' breath paired with toxical rivers.
Parents couldn't bear the thought of her livin,
Life with an apparent narcotics addiction, staring lost in a prism.
Needle marks on her skin, you can see the darkness within,
How could she be a hostage to sin? Only 19 and sodomy's friend.

The lonely night scene had caused her to spin~out of control,
The bowels of her soul were infested by neglected flowers of growth.
Falicy's fantasy became reality, still, she had personality,
And the biggest loss in life is being consumed by normality.
Passively, she went to raves in the chamber drinking with anger,
Erasing the painful strain that had made her a claimed patient of sado.
But being raped by a stranger one night had changed her in ways of...
Unaidable rage that built up internally as blades painted her veins with a rainbow.
Didn't pay mind to the future, in the day time she was used to..
Cruising wreckless as she'd sip and drink wine with a blank mind to intruders.
Refused to take time as a tutor..let things flow as they did,
Her belly now dead weight holdin a kid..an abortion's headache told her to quit.
Most can't relate, a cold absent face tells tales of no happy place,
Proactive hate from fate's slow hand of chase...
had her go back to base in nomadic state..fearless, just think...
The apartment she came home to was run down faster than the tears on her face.
Careless mistakes purposely made, Life's song a verse full of pain,
But Blair was too numb from doin drugs to realise the surface was stained..

Working restless to prepare her thesis paper on Socrates,
Blair was always on the go...like paraplegics playin monoply.
The professor was amazed by her rough draft she submitted in..
Could've excelled, but decided she'd get smashed with friends rather than finish it.
That night she met a man out of prison with muscles and strong features,
His touch was a god's finger making her quiver and blush when he got near her.
As the story goes, they started romantically dating and kissing,
But past the glory road, her heart has a tragically tainted addiction.
He only used her for sex and she knew it, abused her in bed when they'd do it,
Whisperin love's sonnet as she's unconcious in a hallucinate, gellid confusion.
She was off on the deep~ end of sense ~ walking the streets,
No socks on her feet, barefoot scared shook of rotting beneath.
Humming songs of the beast, puffing dust while calm and released,
Thoughts were discreet from any prophecy's reach, a promise she'd keep...
To always be free..Stopping her speech, were raw dogs drawin their heat,
Caught in their reach they called for her "please, coffee on me!"
She started to freeze, denying their offer with small talk,
That's when things became trife in the spot and she got shot...

5 years later...

The scene is a dusty shack, rust and ash cover it front to back,
Inside lies a figure with crutches packed next to the matress she suffers at.
Wants another chance, married to a man that molests her,
Buried in the sands of a desert of regrets carried in the glands where her breasts are.
Looking behind in a frame of glass from a famished heart,
Reaching back to change the past, but her past is scarred.
Now wishing she had that baby, stayed clean, and was committed to school,
Fresh blood leaks from the old scars for the resonant affliction that grew...
