Loves Nightmare Poem by Gerard Heathcote

Black shines in the deepest dark
Ebony sticks and makes it’s mark
This night of sorrow no dreams to share
Through my eyelashes I feel your hair
Sticky glue holds remnants to my chest
Your love for me has flown the nest

Don’t wake yet it’s not in vein
Try and wipe the bleeding stain
My hand is frantic to and fro
I can't connect I loved her so
The shock of tears wakes my mind
Rational thought for the blind

Screaming voices, depart they cry
A heart turned black I know not why
Don’t wake yet enjoy the thrill
The stake it feels like a drill
This is love’s blackest side
Now on night’s dreaming ride

In dreams I feel your loving essence
The climax wanes without your presence
In sweating silence nothing stirs
Wake or dream my love was hers
My arms they seek your body’s heat
Comfort lost my heart stops it’s beat
