Nightmare Ride

Ace of Spades light my way
Brain ride across the bay
Through the ethereal mist
A trestle or’ the great abyss
Leviathan champing at the wheels
With ancient jaws of Behomeels

Reality strays into sleep
With Dreams that hurt, Dreams that creep
Impalpable Jabberwock entrains our mind
We can see. Our shells are blind.
Final trip is but a gream
But a Dream within a dream
Fire without heat, food with no flavor
Beings without faces, femmes without favor
Last rites on a train of doom
Imaginato rules this mental tomb

Labyrinth deep inside out psyche
Loses our conscience sight
Ghostly figures frolic about
JFK with his head blown out
Dante laughs with his poison quill
Endless Purgatory seems too real
Tormented screams faintly heard
Echoes in the Land Absurd
Dreams across the Styx fill my quintessence
I awake no more, my final penance
