Relegated Dreams...



Beneath this pale, placid skin,
My soul embarks on journeys,
Infinitely mysterious, thrilling and bizarre!
On one such journey I stumble upon,
A locked door, partially hidden, forgotten,
Inquisitive my soul; I enter,
A chamber; dark, ominous,
Stumbling along the path unseen,
Hands outstretched, groping, acting as my vision,
A blinding light dazzles my eyes,
I spy a dream, descend slowly,
From the unseen heights, unachieved, distraught,
Dead!
Crawling into a crevice, It lies,
Still, immobile; I realize,
I stand in the catacombs, the tomb of my dreams,
Where every hope, every wish, every desire,
I ever felt was banished, executed, life never giving them,
A chance to be born, to become real,
To exist!
By the fading glow, I step ahead,
I see, my life laid out,
In front of me, my fantasies,
Lying listless, Sepia tinged,
Cold, from their death!
Living it all over again, the pain, the hurt,
I turn away, nauseated, unable to take it anymore,
Running back I find, no exit, no door,
A one way trip this was,
Relentless, I try to find a way out,
Coz am suffocating, the morbid stench,
Of slowly decomposing desires, overwhelming me,
Grim silver spectres surround me,
Shrill echoes, reverberate,
A requiem they sing for my soul,
Trapped here for infinity,
In this sarcophagus, of unfulfilled hopes,
These catacombs of relegated dreams!

    Thanks bro!

    No havent seen dat movie! nd dis is not goin wid da theme of da vampires, dude!

    This is da experience of a lonely guy whose only way of passing time is to introspect nd hence he embarks on journeys within hs own psyche! nd finds da tomb of his unfulfilled dreams! :)

    dats wat it is!

    sorry didn't see it from that angle...
    was in a vampire frenzy...n also pale skin sacrophagus got me confused...

    but my angle makes sense too... :-)
