Adventures in Lemnos, Pt. 2

From chalice sleep, I take oneiric sips And look up to the ceiling finding sky And then I feel a river running near But I can't see it with my glasses on So I proceed to take them off my face And then I trek through land of morn's defeat Taking a trip to Lemnos So I can drink with Hypnos And have a couple shadows dance in darkness While I compose Hearing the truth embedded in mythos And making the free throws In basket of my hopes and aspirations Sooner drown then find river elation Scene of Pandemonium Rococo degradation But I will freeze within the desert seeking revelation So that the poems you read from me are soul's reverberation Ken chasin' Night, was evinced To my two inner eyes And it sought me as a prince Sight, not convinced But I know it's no surprise That our eyes act as a fence One told me that the truth I write above Here sounds obscene And, I should tone it down Lest I do cause a rowdy scene But, I don't serve the shadows by that river Merely serve them words so I can make their figures shiver Bloody but I do deliver Then I met another soul by the water and he said "I can tell you don't belong here, you should really be in bed Since you are, I'll look in your head" And, grabbing both my ears, these verbatim words he fed "Imma look into your sleep to see the dreams that Sandman leaves Cutting deep into your forest seeing blood upon its leaves Looking so deep into psyche Finding the loving and angry Parts of your personality Looking over your mentality" "Stop, I don't want to listen to this I've indulged you long enough It's time to cease and desist I really insist" Then I saw him retreat, until amongst the dancing silhouettes Pirouettes amidst the mist Met a Siren by the bankside And she beckoned me alongside But I did not go You either wade within Mnemosyne Or drown within the river Lethe Either road you're rowed On I did go Closer to paunch of the beast Closer to heart of the feast Lava did flow I did not fear in the least Still understood what could soon be soon unleashed Got to take a look Into darkened brook After bloody donnybrook With a hundred shadows haunting dark did cook After traveling a while I stumbled upon a cave, appearing to be somebody's domicile So I walked in, to see if it belonged to whom I'm searching for And I found him, what happened next is truly fit for lore "See you haven't popped a poppy By the Lethe You can call me Papi Or Daddy Sleepy Now that I'm awake I'm going to share with you a couple things Reason why people shy away from the truth is that it stings Life's a library Gory stories on the shelf Climb the bookcase at the risk of your health So much to peruse if you're willing to bruise Flip through the pages so to find your wealth Have to prance among the roses even if allergic to flowers Gotta go dancing in the rain, even if you drown in its showers" Then I replied And said "The window's closing If you have a final remark I'd say it right now I'm listening" "Beware the oneirivores They'll suck your dreams right out your pours Smelling hope's scent right upon your skin They'll slurp soul dry of its reservoir" Day, was conveyed To my two outer eyes And it sought my flesh to be flayed See, what I've made And despite the price I'm still glad that I paid
