Nightmare Traveller

by Edward Oropeza   Oct 17, 2012


Alone in the middle of nowhere,
darkness is it's name,
hurricane is the only sound I've heard,
cast out by the storm screamers,
in the swamps of screams...

The clock ticks 12 o'clock,
I know its nightmare again,
window pane shattered into pieces,
doors squeaking and footsteps approaching,
At the edge I saw the shadow of Halisha,
In her face was tattered with grudge,
her hands a spear of acolytes,

The fear inside of me is the mirror of hers,
I'll cast to de-buffs her anger in me,
but she summons her silhouette and seer,
reflecting in me the damage of my soul,
I hide and dash towards the abyss of fears,
where the only redemption is the Cruma tower,

But darkness lead me to the Tower of Insolence,
where worst fear encapsulates me,
Halisha's haunting now disappear, but in the middle
of Insolence, lies a thousand gargoyles, basilisk
skeleton marauder, hangman soul and headless knights...

Sweats and fears is what I have,
I walk silently behind them, like a shadow steps,
but the minions thrust the spear in my backs,
which aggro the whole mobs, I cast the scroll of escapes
but it vanished me into memory,
placing me in the Monastery Of Silence...

There the only lights I have is the torch
from the Imperial Grave Keeper, his appearance was scary...
In my right was the Chimera of Darkness,
I was doomed to repay all my sentences,
Wherever I am, I'm always haunted,
Wake Up!Is all I cast to myself...Wake Up!

But the gatekeeper took me into the tower of Ethoros
Where I can see the demon's lair,
What the hell! I scream so loud that it may break my ears...

And It was all darkness again,
In the middle of nowhere...
a tranquilizing pain now vanished in my memory...

I woke up, and it's now 12:45 a.m
It was a total silence, lights out,
I head to the kitchen for a glass of water...
Suddenly I heard the window pane shattered into pieces,
Curtains stripped and ripped down,
I heard the door squeaking and footsteps approaching...
"Oh no, not again!"...

    Edward, I just want to tell you that your vocabulary is such a breath of fresh air!

    I get so tired of reading the same metaphors, and the over-used adjectives.

    The imagery in this piece was great-

    "her face tattered with grudge, her hands a spear of acolytes"

    "she summons her silhouette and seer,
    reflecting in me the damage of my soul,"

    "but in the middle
    of Insolence, lies a thousand gargoyles, basilisk
    skeleton marauder, hangman soul and headless knights"

    Just a few of the things that stood out to me.

    Well done!
