In my time of need.......

In this self imposed seclusion,

Comprehend the shape of your thoughts.

Silence, to soothe your fevered brow

The golden disease that terrifies.

Figurines that lunge and grab,

The proverbial throat.

The comatose suddenness of it all.

Divine the meaning of all that you are,

And stare into your perception of self.

Cheery at time and dark otherwise.

On this mental landscape

A million myriad paths

All seemingly equal and inviting.

To chose to follow and tread on one

Is the unfortunate contradiction to conviction.

In my time of need

Sound of summoning,

Of desperate reckoning.

In my time of need, 

Your voice emanating from realms real

Cut lose from tentacles

Of my own imagination.
