The Cave of Silent Dreams

Some days I need to just retreat
Into my Cave of Silent Dreams
To watch Platonic shadows dance
Upon defensive walls I’ve raised
To keep myself away from me.
No Leonidas kills a wolf,
Nor no Amāterāsu sulks,
Nor no mistrustful Bāli roars.
It’s just a fire on my back.
It’s just some shadows in my sight.
It’s just a willing dreaminess,
Escaping lit Reality
I dared to see and blinded me.
