In my dreams
Are nightmarish scenes
Of abomination
And desolation.

I seem adrift on Hellish seas;
Nothing there to hear my pleas
Or ease my fears
Or dry my tears.

In my dreams
Are alien scenes
Of worlds and lands
And castles grand.

I am alone looking in
These places I have never been
But, they are only dreams
Or so it seems.
