The Hippo Soared High That Night

So this is kind of weird, and basically just free. It is modeled after a dream that just touched me weird, wondering what everyone thinks.

 

The hippo soared that night

A terrifyingly entertaining horror.

I saw the seals scatter as the narrow bridge betrayed me.

They held their breaths as I fought through the water trying to break free.

 

I feel the body of fear

Drowning and alone, how does fear make things so clear.

I reach a hand away from the beast

And make my way to shore.

Here I am real.

Here I am alive.

 

Sucked into a paralyzed fit of euphoria

I can’t help but smile.

I lay in my bed in the early hours of morning

Which continue to fly by

As I smile.

My body refuses to move

But something is here, something is pumping me.

 

We yell in the elevator, and joke to the girls.

Impressions. Impressions. Impress.

I ran from that factory and got into the elevator.

Three pretty girls smile at me.

I ran from that man who raised at me his tea.

And still these girls all smile at me.

The elevator decides its not my day.

And once again I am a helpless fool, falling in the air.

Dying from the scare.

We all scream, suddenly aware that our time is about to disappear.

If I was still alive, oh God I should I would wish to be a better man.

Oh God please you could you should give me one more chance.

Granted.

Thanks, God.

 

I never am afraid of the feeling of pain. Physical.

I always fear the beginning of a loss of my mind.

When I lay and feel I will die.

When I can not move.

It is nothing, until my mind slowly fades.

The tears will run and make their marks upon my skin.

Impression. Impression. Impress.

I will soon forget the rest of the pain.

I will soon be a walking model of rain.

It is sad, thinking one day my light will leave.

One day the light will leave me.

My mind will close forever.

And heaven will hopefully come, hopefully I will be there.

Still…it is scary.

Realizing it is all very real.

I’m not immortal anymore.

I do enjoy it very much. You are such an expressive person who places pictures right in peoples minds. Absolutly wonderful.

[Poeticpiers]

the weirdness of dreams seems quite acceptable as you dream its only the remembrance of it which makes you wonder just what triggered it off
