Old Poems - 2006

1.

sleep
dreamland
why do I persist?
why do I return?
dreamland is heaven
when lucid
waking is such a let down
all they gave, all I got
was this key to paradise...
I'll hold it always.

2.

what is a dream, what is perception,
what can I gain from self-reflection -
is this all just misdirection,
tactics of lust for indiscretion..
or my brain's endless drive to ask a question?
