I do not take well to most anti-malaria drugs (they make me violently ill), which can be a problem when my family travels. Through trial and error, we found a drug called Mefloquine. While it did not incapacitate me with abdominal pain and/or vomiting, it did cause me hallucinate a bit. Ok, maybe a lot. The following pieces (Terrors I - VIII) are the products of a somewhat jumbled Lauren's night terrors.
Racing,
as sheep run through the corridors of my mind
bastard, mutant terrors that they are.
Leering,
Pandora's nightmares could not now match these terrors, racing
Dissonant symphony of my thoughts
clattering, crashing, shattering,
a thousand shards of perfect impurities
DANCE!
Dance the demons of my thoughts!
This hall of mirrors break and kill.
kill. The myriad mirrors and portals each a new torture
Oh break them all!
And leave me be.
Alone.
With the hippopotamus and the blood red sky.
Without a storm we shall not go go hence.
And rooted. Stuck to this very place
As his wide mouth opens now
into the gates of hell.
Oh now let him reach me,
that this all might end.
Swallow me whole into the great black abyss.
My Blood
Oh Let my blood now rock me to sleep
Tides, ebb and flow
And swallow me whole.
