Nightmares

Contributed by pixie on Thursday, 2nd March 2006 @ 05:53:24 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry



Lay in bed the nightmares start,
Installing fear into head and heart,
Pulse racing, sanity fading,
My insecurities begin cascading.

Ghosts of tomorrow appear,
I hold my breath as they crawl near,
Darkness closing in on me,
Sealing my doom, never will I be free.

Mind trapped in a horror film maze,
Demons leaving my emotions in a daze
Strangling and choking all my dreams,
Out to kill me by any given means.

Haunted by the devil as I sleep,
Silently he watches as I weep,
Laughing as I struggle for breath,
Tormenting until theres nothing left.

Nightmares arent just for kids,
Never a good day do they bid,
Destruction and horror do they leave,
They will watch as you eternally grieve.

Hello. Great job! Did you recently have a nightmare that inspired you to write this? I have bad dreams sometimes, and even though I'm in my thirties I still hop out of bed and turn all the lights on. Anywho, great poem. Have a good one.

(( Pixie)) hope your back to stay now!!
This is haunting and gave me chills forsure.
Captured in the moment as your poems always bring such emotion to light up the page.

while I like your poem I feel all the couplets take away some of the haunting quality. It seems too sing-songy. I still think its a really good poem but I think it could be better.

Ah, nightmares. There are the emotional nightmares, and the nightmares that completey horrify. A good job here, you have captured the idea and fear of a nightmare with perfect wording and tension. A superior job to this topic.

BRAVO!

Excellent. I have nightmares. I am glad that you put nightmares aren't just for kids because it really is true. This was a very well written piece.
