~whisper~ 2 Versions Poem by Sinnaminsun Sinnaminsun

As dreams spill beyond our eyes
night consumes as day subsides,
Sure daydreaming seems ok
but are you listening when nightmares play?

Fear is whispering behind their door
got lock and key plus something more,
Loneliness courts monotony
as walls block in its certainty.

Kind hearted words might pass the test
but lies still linger in the rest,
Some won't see beyond the rose
their tainted version of truth exposed.

Come and tell me when you hear
as daylight lingers ever near,
Is the key somewhat turned
releasing whispered fear unlearned?

As morning greets today again
the night has closed await for when,
Fear to meekly walk in view
on whispered dreams of me and you.

2nd version below
Nightmares tap behind our eyes
as night consumes and day subsides,
There they wait behind a door
holding lock and key,
plus something more...

Moonlight courts monotony
as night seals in all certainty,
With eager-urge nightmares creep-in
and wake their way toward me again.

Rise and tell me when you hear
their feeling lingers ever-near,
Did the key sound somewhat turned
is what I fear just what I've learned?

As morning greets the day again
the night has closed and waits for when,
All fear to meekly walk in view
behind a door of me and you.
