Nightmare

by xPerfect Chaosx   Mar 16, 2007


Stars twinkling bright
Under the pale moonlight
The wind whispers through the trees
Singing a silent melody
Everything has gone to sleep
Sweet dreams
Everything...
Except me

Tortured touches
Too many lies
Dreams turn to nightmares
Of terrible mind games
Sweating
Panting
Running,
Can't escape
Can't stop the terror
Pain
Horror
Fear

Nightmares roll through my tormented mind
Sick feeling in my head
Can't escape
Too many lies
Too many fears
Such awful thoughts
Ashamed of my twisted mind
No longer able to breathe

Chasing
Grasping
Unable to reach
Unable to scream
Can't find my way
The trees grasp at me
Pulling me back
Keeping me from the pin prick of light
That is my hope
My Salvation
Can't escape

I can see it
The hope
I must reach it
But I am held back
Can't defeat the monsters
In my mind
Sick, twisted, jaded
Thoughts running through my head
Scampering away from the silence
In fear

Must escape
Must reach my Salvation
Can't run any longer
To much to bear
Can't go on
I must face the fears
The monsters of my mind

Drowning, slowly
Can't reach the surface
Cold clammy hands
Pulling me back under
Gasping for breath
Must reach the surface
Or become one of my fears

The blackness envelopes me
Falling faster and faster
Spinning out of control
Can't find solid ground
Can't find myself
Invisible fingers tug at my clothes
Grasping
Screaming silently
So loud
Can't be heard

Ok, so thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it, please comment, I will always return the favor. Thanx!!!!

    Wow that was intense, my dreams havn't quite reached that caliber yet although some of mine would really make interesting poems.

    Dani,

    Overall a wonderful dark poem. LOved these lines:

    "Drowning, slowly
    Can't reach the surface
    Cold clammy hands
    Pulling me back under
    Gasping for breath
    Must reach the surface
    Or become one of my fears"

    Maybe changing one line:
    Or become one of my fears
    To
    Or become lost in my fears

    Tends to give the piece a more powerful impact. Either way, good job.

    Always,
    Jeannie

    This poem was amazing! the desription and structure was clearly evident!

    the lines i loved the most were:

    Drowning, slowly
    Can't reach the surface
    Cold clammy hands
    Pulling me back under
    Gasping for breath
    Must reach the surface
    Or become one of my fears

    well done again. 5/5 from me, David
