Wild Dreams Poem by D Loveday Morris

WILD DREAMS

Put your head on your pillow, close you eyes
And without warning you are hit by surprise
Are you awake? Did you fall asleep?
Can you feel your breathing increasing at an alarming pace?
And your heart drumming, blood flushed to your face,
Veins engorged, fingers clenched,
Mouth opened as if calling for help
Yet who do you call when you lie in your bed,
Haunted by the scenes that you were fed?
And now you can't really tell,
Are you in a world between heaven and hell?
