Chapter 78 - Escalator of Dreams

(The party has ended now,

No more masks that come down,

and are removed due to no escape,

trauma will hit them right in the face.

.

I close my eyes and breathe,

and pray to God ---

Please accept me.

The dreams and spirits I see

will now be answered 

by the man who saved humanity.)

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Every now and again

These nightmares begin;

like a haunted castle

where royals battle,

until someone destroys affection,

severed heads exist amongst the tension. 

.

The escalator of dreams runs mad,

And never lets me remove my hands —

The dandelions suffocate any branch, 

mother cannot destroy --- no chance.

.

Centuries ago,

the female entity crawled upon the sepals

and fought the battle royals.

.

I realize that my demonic dreams

are trauma that my mother left me.

There was no one I could confide

So my mind created one so kind. 

.

My rainbow friend is just pretend,

a reflection of bloody wrists

that stopped stitching its wits,

and projected a fairytale,

one that comforted turmoil.

.

Progressive sways and delays

are what these energies dismay. 

.

They were people I'd vent to post battle; 

My knights and bishops,

Horses that carry a princess

Who becomes a Queen,

And forever has an arch enemy. 

.

Medieval looking rooms set the tone 

ancient and wicked groans, 

Monstrous faces overhead — 

Forever are they mother's roses of death

that decay the elegant thread. 

.

I must execute the enemy,

so she is now a prisoner of this hierarchy.

.

Bone fragments from the skeletons 

exemplify the ancient ties

that these entities have reside

along the female bloodline,

and where royalty starts the punchline 

and where family draws the line.

.

Elegant decay is furthermore

prudent as the day's lore

mother's casting scene is encrypted

with thriller and gore. 

.

I struggle

Then break free,

the gardener is the broken escalator

A temporary plea --

where poison is dead set upon fraying clans

of scholars and bishops ----- gentle minds

that forever seek royal might.

.

Until next time, I awaken, 

Restless and mistaken.

.

Mother, I am your enemy in Christ,

this fortnight, the escalator of dreams 

no longer entraps me

against the snares of your horns;

I only serve the lord,

the highest power that grazes the land,

and your mind cannot ensnare my hands.
