A Dream Poem by Billy Loving

A Dream



Lights illuminate the ring
Sudden, painful sting
Gaping of the skin
As blood drips from my chin
Bone snaps
As I collapse
Curvature of the nose
Eyes begin to close
Vision blurred
Not knowing what I've heard
As I stumble and stagger
Not knowing what's the matter
Much to their surprise
To my feet, I rise
Back to the mat, I fall
As my name they call
I rise again
Ready for the win
Vision clears
Image Appears
Snake ready to strike
Just beginning to fight
Arms uncoiling
Blood that's boiling
Ready to pounce
As the legs begin to bounce
Endless time
Images fill my mind
Sudden buzz
Not knowing where I was
Brain begins to clear
Room begins to appear
Just another dream
So real, they seem
Looking at the clock
Noise such a shock
Sunlight all around
Striking hand, ending sound
