Noctuary
Countless ideas flood my mind
just as my head hits the pillow.
Songs, poems, and stories unwind
As my eyes sink, heavy and low.
Even when I sleep this art lingers
Evolving into a vibrant dream.
All my imaginations wake and slur
Into a mesmerizing stream.
Helpless to reach the page
The art remains behind my eyes,
My brain has become a cage
condemning creativity to die.
My art is the broken constellations
Between dreams that can’t connect.
Nothing but internal hallucinations
That ink can’t seem to resurrect.
