The World Under My Eyes

When you close your eyes, you sleep.

But when I do it, I dream.

 

There is a whole new world under the lids of my eyes.

The night sky is green,

The grass is blue.

 

Birds travel through the sparkling water

And fishes stroll on cleared ground.

Non–identical creatures walk the Earth

Some in the south and some in the north.

 

A little girl is singing

In a blue, silver desert

The fragrance of love and toxicity in her song.

It floods me with pleasure

And pierces me like a sword.

 

The essence in her voice

Sends shivers down my spine.

It feels like she is singing from a broken heart,

Voices coming through the cracks in her soul.
