A Dreadful Nightmare Poem by Elijah Carranto

The radiant sun sleeps,
The serene moon glows,
The solitary night is cold.
The sky is filled with
Stars sparkling like a diamond,
Deafening silence wrecks my ears.

My crestfallen eyes are closed,
My fingers are crossed,
I lie here shaking.
My fate is cursed,
My life is doomed,
Everything is fading.

Light has lost its radiance;
Darkness has devoured me.
I’m lost in a deadly slumber-
Another dreadful nightmare.
I can hear spectral voices anywhere,
Specters are tormented everywhere.
I don’t know where I am but
The angel of death has come
From the dark clouds; I know
I’ll die on broken wings.

The radiant sun is rising,
The serene moon is hiding,
The night is turning to dawn.

The crows are flying
Over the horizon.
The black roses are slowly dying.
The sonorous requiem is starting.

I still hear the agony
Of my lifeless heart.
I still feel the melancholy
My blind eyes had gone through.

Now my empty soul wanders
In the place they call eternity.
Sitting at the top of the hill
Eternally desolated.
