~ diabolical dreams

my diabolical dreams

haunting me whilst awake

screaming in head's deliverance 

venturing into comic disbelief 

mind ticks of dread'd consciousness

truth comes in nightmare's relief

I couldn't help but equate the dream you speak of to a common misery we all brave through some time or another, which is the sorrow from the aftermath of a heartbreak. Truth comes when the nightmare ends and you are able to evaluate things rationally for what they truly are.
Terrifying nonetheless how nightmares are often as real as our dreams, and how they manipulate our judgment very easily.

I like where you took this one Tai, thanks for your thoughts.

oh my this is gorgeous i like your expressions

[Baby Ricochet]

Some of my dreams are definitely diabolical. Some of them I've had so many times I've thought of writing them on the WC but that's getting just a little to personal in a public forum for me. I really liked this poem

[Frieda P]

I have to tell you I found that odd to read Mark, you've brought us to the depths of your real life horror stories and experiences of war and yet you find nightmares too personal, interesting.

[Baby Ricochet]

Yeah. I can see where that would be confusing. I guess it's because my dreams are about how I feel about my time in Afghanistan and Iraq now and not the situation itself or how I felt about it at the time. Those days are like another galaxy away from here that keeps sending meteors blazing through my subconscious.

Thanks for the wonderful ........ Poem !!! Really amazing

[Frieda P]

Thanks Ahena, glad you enjoyed my craziness!

[Mark]

Truth as a relief to a nightmare. Must've been a lying nightmare!

[Frieda P]

Nightmares never lie Mark...........usually what's stuck in your subconscious mind.

[Mark]

Then the nightmare IS truth and doesn't need truth ' relief.

[Frieda P]

It's about when reality upstages the nightmares Mark. ;-P

[Mark]

So reality is deceitful?

[Frieda P]

Wind it the way you please Mark, it's yours once it's out there....but no or perhaps at times, yes. ;-P

[Saddam]

As a sufferer of PTSD, this poem screams to me, of the reality, I have lived through, in my struggle to find balance, in my life, with the slow climb, back to normalcy.

[Frieda P]

Understandable, it's tough when your reality surpasses your nightmares.

You know I was thinking real hard about getting to this poem yesterday and obviously read another that now I don't know the name of. I'll find it, anyway it works out because my intentions are to read all of your "flair with a word" anyways. Hate shady dreams you can't control even if you twitch your nose and turn your shoulder inward a couple of times in quick motions. Diva Divine!

[Frieda P]

[Shirlena]
