Hypnagogia

I am searching for the border

The subtle fracture in the glass

At the threshold of the dormant realm

Where dare my demons pass

The sleep of reason is evermore

An exhibition of phantasmata

Disfigured in the mirror

Dreamed instructions manifest

To guide the restless legion

Into the arms of Morpheus

An infantry to wage the hidden war

A force to storm the great unseen

Cold, unfeeling, far-off things

At last have come to be

Dare I dream?

Seizure of my senses

Make me numb

Numb enough to enter the cataplectic kingdom to receive my crown

Here we wait in wakefulness

Until in sleep we drown

Drown me in the majestic

Slumber of ego, reign of the id

Beautiful instinct

The primal unravelling

Of all mysteries still to solve

I resolve to transcend this mortal coil

To cast off the burdens of beings made only to toil

I succumb to the spirit of the incubus

The spectre pushing down

In sleep we drown

For this night my soul ascends

Through channels unknown

In congruence destined to roam
