Swamp Dream

“I wrap my soul in Frog skin”

Lime swamp
Mint mist
Cool crisp

I let it begin…

I glide through slithe
Lily pad portals
Leering trees gnarl and creep

Something beneath
From statue to stalker
Waking from sleep

Black pudding pond
Seething stale green

Cold oil liquid steams
A million amphibians scream
Within alligator dreams

down
down
down
dark deep

Where these demons sleep
Within in hells wells
Razor teeth monsters dwell

Serpent eyes
Green boiled skin
Serves the serpent of sin

Green
Steams
From seething trees

Algae gleams
From moon cast beams
Dragon flies stream

This swampland sweats…

Sleeping
Deep
A moist green dream

Crickets cry within soil
Toads toil
Within black swamp oil

Spacecraft fly fierce
Buzzing the bog
Another victim for these cunning frog

Worms
Squirm
Within soggy log

Leeches scream – silent mud
Lurking for blood
Nursing Vampire brood

This great swamp soup
Food devouring food

A million bones
A million ghosts

Human, Alien, Reptilian
Lie frozen in time
Under ten tons of sludge, clay & decay

Victims of time
Slime & bite

Here to sleep the eternal night
Never again to see the suns beam

Only to wander evermore
Within the Swamp’s dream
