Ethereal

On the edge of the nightmare

Like the blade of a knife

You might see a dream

Before you awoke

Into shame 

Into Desire

Maybe Peace 

Perhaps War

Love or

Disaster

And on the edge of a dream

You might see a nightmare

After you fell deeply

 asleep

Into chaos

Manic insanity

A complex 

regression of X

Fantasy based Y 

Vanity tinged

stained Humanity

Absently taken

Deeply

Into a reality

 please

says,

The boundaries of flesh

 thank you

I miss you

Come back to me

Whole or,

In pieces

Come back

I like this one. Flow, word choice...
Good s**t.

It's an interesting title you picked for this poem and journey through your words. The poem is well penned. I enjoyed the read.

I wouldn't either if I was you. Thanks for stopping by though champ.

[CLR9]

[Davidgeo]

Of course, of course. My mistake. It's always my pleasure sir. Every, single, time.

I'm just glad you went out of your way to talk to me.

I think we wake up to what we sleep with. That seems very logical, inevitable. The concluding lines are powerful. I enjoyed this poem, DavD.

[Davidgeo]

I'm glad you enjoyed this.

Living with ourselves can be challenging, if we're lucky it might be something we don't think about.

I'm glad to 'see' you divya. I have missed you dearly.
