American Dream I find myself elatedAmerican Dream by ~tiger-simian
At such dark and dull a prospect
This life is going places
At what cost, I can't be bothered
I find myself excited
At the buzz of my alarm
Surprises are unwelcome
I'll stick to my routine
I find myself fast sleeping
At the wheel of my own life
I veer across the freeway
While I'm still safely dreaming
I've still got the fire
I've still got the fight
I'm working my way up there
One desk job at a time
Dawn's First Light A slowly building tensionDawn's First Light by ~tiger-simian
These lines laid down at dawn's breaking
Fuel the need now to make, create
Figures deserving of righteous redemption
To guide us in glory to holy ascension
Out of darkness, out of hell proper
Rising tides break loudly below us
Bones broken before, no longer aching
In flight from our tombs
We've escaped hell's vast stopper
Misguided Softly ringing in my earMisguided by ~tiger-simian
Is this what all the others hear?
A voice so light, much like a bell
Guiding me straight down to hell
Now smiling lips spread wide with glee
Is this what all the others see?
A face so sweet, much like a doll
From which rings out this ghastly call
And from my face skin starts to peel
Is this what all the others feel?
I'm falling now, I'm falling down
My scalp adorned by one huge crown
As heat fast builds, I crave a drink
Is this what all the others think?
Before eternal, damning fire
Steals song out from each harp and lire
Still Life A top suspended mid spinStill Life by ~tiger-simian
And a jack-in-the-box just half-sprung
A house of cards paused mid-tumble
And a doll that's been dropped now half-fallen
A boy's curious eyes absorb it all
These toys stopped in action and in fall
Before the top slows and falters
And the jack-in-the-box springs fully out
Before the house of cards crumbles
And the doll finds its way down to earth
Neutral 
Poetry Done Here Enter The World of Dreams
