Very Scary Things

I had been frightened by my dreams till I wrote this poem and released them!

 

                      Very Scary Things

 

 

                        The monsters in my dreams are very scary  things  

              

                                           Yet they have always been my dear and closest kin.

 

                              Cruel and cackling hags, dark stampeding stags.

 

               Howling as they ravage, lustful, vicious, savage.

 

                              So strong the family ties, so long the pain and lies.

 

               These monsters follow me in anguished agony.

 

                              Longing for their souls of which they’ve lost control.

 

               This evil from within my dear and closest kin,

 

                              Has set them forth to hell. Fear I may go as well!

 

               From them I cannot hide. With God my soul abide.

 

                              Divine love saves my soul, my heart now takes control.

 

               Mine eyes no longer see forced, cold, dark agony.

 

                              The pain has now subsided, my destiny is gently guided.

 

               Strong are the bonds of love, yet gentle as a dove.

 

                              Love it’s self is being, hearing, feeling, seeing.

 

               Heart, soul and mind enlightened, I am no longer frightened.

 

                              In love’s pure divinity my spirit is now set free.

 

               Though from time to time, these thoughts come to my mind.

 

                              The monsters in my dreams are very scary things.

 

               Yet they have always been my dear and closest kin.

 

                               Falling tears as rain, empathizing of their pain.

 

                If they could only see, pure love’s divinity.

 

                               Forever now I pray by divine love’s saving way.

This was beautiful - you captured well the darkness of nightmares and the beauty of love, that is capable of breaking up the darkness in one's mind. Although it is essentially an optomistic poem, I think you did write the darker styles well. The words and description you used in the first couple lines of the poem were vivid and powerful. I really don't know what else to recommend! Don't be so hard on yourself - dark poems can certainly have happy endings. =) This was a great tale, I enjoyed reading!

Thanks! I did try to use some vivid imagery.

Wow! This is deep and moving. You explore the balance of light and dark well in this poem. They are both needed to make us who we are. Sweet and powerful writing!

It's really pretty in a dark, morbid way.
Light at the end of the tunnel, sort of thing.
Awesome job!
