Flashes Part 1 & 2

This was during some personal development a few years ago. It needs some serious work.

Flashes, Part One

Units of torment
measured by tales;
visions, dreams, porous memories
sent spinning.

Unvisited realms
caught on a breeze;
swift, filtered, impurities
unsteadily waning.


Flashes, Part Two

Screams to oblivion
ripping at reason.
Lucid arousal
at shadows retreating.

Enslaved in duress;
held captive from truth.
Twisted perceptions
relentlessly manifest.
