In Darkest Dreams of Sight...

In darkest dreams of sight
the closed eyes view
a world of black and white
with no color and no hue

Shapes shift in a shadowy fugue
Amorphous fault-lines fade
Every lineament runs askew
Oblivion is there   displayed

In darkest dreams of sight
the closed eyes view
an abyss of constant night
that no light may undo

All sound is but an echo
Each voice a muted tone
In a silence like a stiletto
piercing deeper than any bone

Each motion can only mimic
the causal movement lost
Every acuity is but a gimmick
Each breath is of exhaust

In darkest dreams of sight
the blind are in full-view
Here is no wrong nor right
Only banality can imbue

The dreaming dead are equal
to delusions thought alive
Eternity becomes a sequel
to hoard what will deprive

In darkest dreams of sight
closed eyes keep the view
beheld to behold this plight
and validate dreams undue
