Dream Me Darling Poem by Akash Justin Ovian

Sweet darling look, I’ve disappeared for an unknown reason
Oh, it came at autumn that dreadful news of a fading life
Come on darling, I’ve been walking slow; through my countless graves,
Still dropping seeds of conspiracy in the halls of the Earth
In your anger, oh, I see the spark of violent reason
In your sweetness yes I cherish every broken dream

Bleed in madness still as we ache for more in this manic garden,
Feeling forests of desire burning through our weary hours
Lovely darling, see I’ve made a house of wood to warm your shoulders,
To keep and dance with your every pristine dream
I’ve been on expedition to the moon of lunacy and back forth,
Seeking time when I’ll be timeless with the eyes to still reminisce
I have lost rhyme to logic, envious in my hating endeavors,
Looking at myself, mirrored through a myriad insects

Dream me darling, look I’ll still be lighter than your doomsday nightmare,
Give you’re a heart a pair of feathered wings and come to float with me oh!
There is solace at the end but what of today?
Will the nails of time keep driving through my wrists in sadist fashion!
I wouldn’t know if I would choose to be crucified or burnt alive
But I know for sure that I would never want to live forever

Death is but a friend that’s accompanied me through my fears and,
I’ve come to know him well as humanity’s greatest and only healer
For in the darkness there’s a light your eyes cannot see
An ancient secret that you stole away from yourself,
And chained in caverns

I’m a Buddha yes and I like to make love in the sunlight,
I’m a Christ and yes I like to steal the occasional bottle of whiskey
I’m a wise old fool that chooses clarity over endless kingdoms
I’m your friend and lover, yes but I don’t know how to save you
You may ask for redemption but I have only wine and a conversation,
That I’d offer with a heart that beats through every space and corner
So come on darling come and partake in my solitude,
I will show you more than what a drunken heart could easily construe

I’m a wizard yes, and I’ll tell you of every magical secret
Dream me darling yes I’m here to take away your tender slumber
Awaken honey, the time for darkness is right before you
You will see the light at the beginning of the tunnel
