Delirium

The downward arc of the sun fills me with fear
As the heavens change their hue, I dread the sight of dusk
Lengthened shadows rise from their graves to haunt the blackened hours
And I tremble as my fear is confirmed
The death of light and the birth of hell.

Piercing my soul
Haunting my dreams
Visions swirl around me, crashing over me
I'm immersed in disembodied voices
Dissonant screams echo through time
Ghosts of thought drift through unconsciousness
Half-forgotten memories linger on the periphery
A delirium of fractured images.

Piercing my soul
Haunting my dreams
Slick with sweat, the bed sheets cling to my body like a shroud
A sodden and tangled web of restraint
I yearn for the sweet oblivion of silent darkness
To gather me up and embrace me in its velvet folds of bliss
Burning up in a sphere of madness
Edging ever closer to insanity
Finally the black sky pales
Sunrise a vampyric onslaught
Bleeding her substance dry
Vanquishing her domain
Reanimation of the catatonic
Morning spawns a day like any other
Will terror reign again in twilight's Autumn
Only time will tell.
