Stone Skies

Stopping along the way

I touched the skies of gray

Turning them into stone

As well as the horse I'm on

And when I started again

The world was turned outside in

And lava flowed through veins

Below caverns where I remain

When I looked above my head

There were caskets of the dead

Floating like stars in muddy skies

While corpses flew without their eyes

All of this just worried me so

I decided I had to go

So I rode through the bottom of Hell

Got singed and began to yell

The world started to shake

and I dreamt I was awake

Now as I stand here on solid ground

I'll never forget the horrid sound

Of a world moaning in pain

While I sleep the sleep of the insane~

While I sleep the sleep of the insane: I've had an out of body experience like this which I know my mother also has. But this one I had was well weird. Not only was I aware of floating above myself I was also aware of lying in my bed asleep in a dream, and aware that my eyes were fully open.
As though I had three separated consciousness, with each one asking the same question? Which one am I who is the real me. Loved your poem bookmarked.

My worst nightmares were never like this.
This heart melts for you.
Please don't write stuff like this again it scares the **** out of me.
Big hugs.

"and I dreamt I was awake": Gotta love this line! Some folks say we live in but a dream of wakefulness. I don't hold with them: though the world sometimes seems insane, for the most part it is a lot more coherent than MY average dream...

I can't decide if I am creeped out
or think this is really cool
well actually whether or not I am creeped out has nothing to do with this being cool
good write

wooooo, this is creepy and neat at the same time. It sounds like a nightmare. It sounds like you just dropped in to see what condition your condition was in. Very interesting, as Arte Johnson would say. I really like this. I love the images that came to mind as I read each line.
