Nightmares Poem by Dave Alan Walker

Nightmares

Rating: 5.0


The nightmares come
in a film they call dreams
the skulls are the walls
closing in tighter

You're trapped
inside the souls
of madness fighting
for breath

waiting
for the morning light
to know you have survived
another night

Nightmares are born in the light of day. The conscious mind storing away the wicked tools to be revealed when the poor soul succumbs to slumber. The script is written in the light of day and performed on evening's darkened stage.

Let the sighs of relief in the morning generate the anticipation of sweet dreams for the next night. Keep on writing, Dave. I look forward to your next poems. Let me know if you post some more.
