Runes of a Sandman

by Annette - Leo

as dusk aversely cedes
to the bruised colored sky of night
it's elongated fingers
ensconse my soul
in black velvet

silky smooth to the touch -
lost am I in nocturnal visions
and intentionally forgotten desire auger life,
now perform their meticulously cast roles
in my subconcious play
epiloging in dreams

filling the cup of my wary mind
I drown in the perverse
images conjured by the Sandman

subliminally massaging the woven fabric
of this deleicate dreamscape
which I've been submerged into
exhiliaring my psyche
to conform to his wayward pleasures -
resulting from my reactions;
radiantly he poses in his distorted revelry

perceptibly dawn tarnishes his peculiar afterglow
disspating the rune he has summoned
like a feline in the night, 
I stretch and yawn - again,
to greet another day

Reason for writing:

    my twisted dreams of sleep - of a lover w/o a face
