Array ( [sid] => 35684 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Sea of Black [time] => 2004-02-20 14:39:39 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Screaming in my sea of black,
I'm oozing shades of grey.

Then running, stumbling,
blinded now,
I'm lost, I don't know where
I'm going
mad

Hair of chartreuse,
out of reach,
out of reach

Oh how I dare to open my eyes...
Oh God! This light, this
...pain...
I cower, underneath these trees
of bright amethyst surround,
cliffs of brilliant cerulean,
overwhelm
overwhelm

Now racing, tripping, unaware,
over rocks of chocolate brown,
No sacrilege of opened eyes...

Back to my dark, so wondrous,
cherished charcoal I despise

Then,
A slant misstep,
fragmented ankle,
bone revealed.

My opened eyes now see my sea
now not so far away.
However, lying here,
beside myself,
next to me I see my corpse...

I crawl to me,
push putrid rotting entrails aside.
Decaying skin to cover life,
shaking cold, I crawl inside...

So as my sea of black slips in
to lick my festered lips,
under dripping carmine sky,

Moonlit eyes of vermilion
calling,

Come; Try
Come; Try,

once again

That was excellent! Kinda reminds me of a Nightwish song. I loved the dark, "come to me in the dark" atmosphere.
