A search

                               A   search

I dont remember,
whether I was sleeping or waking
I sure was struggling somewhere in between. 

I don't know if you've
ever been there
It's a place where 
you can see...
An orangish red ocean, 
like a curtain drawn behind your eyes!

Three white spots
I saw sinking in this red ocean 
Glaring at me like those of a camouflaged monster stranded somewhere amidst that vast
red expanse!

The eyes grew bigger 
And scattered the red
back into a black hole.
These were white tunnels 
that seemed to pull me in,
I wonder if it was
A bright light that lead me to a resurrection,
Or the dreadful monster 
Sharpening his claws that can rip apart my flesh and skin!

Whatever it was,
I opened my eyes
and woke before
I could tell.
I'm left to think about
it over and over...
Until I secretly wish 
that the white tunnel
Had just swallowed me in
And not left me here
to brood over and think..

And so, I lie awake these days
Waiting for that red curtain to be drawn
And for those mysterious spots
To visit me again
And take me to this place
I've never been
And unveil a secret
that was hidden from me!
