Midnight Haunting

Those bad nights bring this to light.

These words in darkness write

like wisps of smoke

in pale moonlight,

speaking of emotions bared

and tossed about

like no one cared.

Who doth approach

in these dreams I have ?

With harsh reproach,

and no creative redemption

your touch slips through

despite all absention.

I toss and I turn

so deep asleep

in a dream that burns.

Sheets tossed wide,

in the morning

there is evidence I cried.

who else thinks I should change the phrase "Who doth approach in these dreams I have?" To "Who approaches in these dreams I have? " Who else thinks that the word doth ruins this poem???

[OBWhiteHawk]

I love this, it's so true in how those bad dream nights can go. I love the way the font colors are set up, as well as your use of language to emphasize the situation so well. Thank you for sharing this, it is a piece of art!

[Mysty Johnson]

Thank You OB : ) btw do you think the word "doth" ruins the poem?

[OBWhiteHawk]

NO I do NOT I actually think it adds to the poem, the overall language that you use is very elegant and that word contributes to it. Do not listen to the one person who has that opinion. Besides it is your poem and it flowed from you as it did. Always go with your first instincts, I say.
