Dreams And Nightmares Poem by Mereia Namatua

As the queen of the night appeared in the sky
The window of my heart closes for the night
I started to drift up to cloud nine
Where it all began with once upon a time

All my needs and wants are met
Whenever I ask for this and that I get
I am all heads and toes for this one
I hoped it ends with happily ever after for once

But then all the beautiful scenery changed
I found myself in a dark picture without a frame
Where a monster lurks in the corner
Trying to scare me making me a loner

Mist and fogs surrounds me
The silence that accompanied it was eerie
There was darkness everywhere
Will I ever find my happily ever after there?

My mind is playing a game
Framing me with a dream to start sane
This suddenly gives way to a nightmare
I awoke with sweat and in the distance I stare

There can always be a once upon a time
But few will find their happily ever after
In dreams or even in reality
For luck and fate dictates
