Yesternight's Dream

Through the dark abyss I fall, I fall so deep, I fall so low, with a thousand stings am I pricked, nailed and nailed till I sore. Are they stings or words? I cannot really tell possibly words as sharp as poisonous darts, as painful as a thousand scorpion stings that slowly turns the earth into a mushy gore. There I lay I do not know for how long, its damp and dark all around, piercing which comes low sinister sounds, Are they words coming back again to sting? My mutilated body shivers to think. As the sounds grow loud I think I faintly recognize, my mother's voice urging on a plaintive cry. She calls my name,I hear it from below, she comes in search of me, alas! if she only would know, that I have gone far, too far from her to return, the distance separating us impenetrable and stern. The specter of a heart that is left in me longs to reciprocate, to answer those calls of love, it longs to reach out to her, to the arms that have always oozed love. In vain however cause there's no arm left to reach, the maggots have silently worked their way through which. Slowly they rise, they rise to cover me up, in huge numbers they embrace me, my tears and fears, they are my saviour they come to deliver me and relieve me of the stings. Their bites are inviting, it numbs the stinging pain, I rejoice to think its the end. No more stings,no more tears. No more fear of unbearable feelings. Steadily as all grow quiet and numb, and as everlasting slumber to my aid comes, a flash of golden light is what I perceive, that pierces the darkness and a surge of warmth i receive. The warmth seems familiar, the one that i have always longed for, the one that used to fill my dreams, the one that would let me know I am loved and will always be. The warmth shelters me, and before me I see, the form that I had always loved coming close and lifting me. I see his face, the very one that I have always loved, those eyes in which I have searched love for an eternity. only the look in them seems different now, its the one of true love and compassion that I see. Is it another illusion before me, this sudden fear enthralls me and I try to flee. But his hold is strong and he draws me close, and through his eye a silent tear rolls, "I have come to take you"says he, "and together we shall be bonded in love for now and eternity."
