Between Worlds

I awake from a dreamless sleep

With strange marks and bruises

On my body

Maybe it's a good thing I did not

Remember these dreams,

I'm a bit scared

To find out

What or whom has put them there,

Which one could it be?

Could it be my Guardian Angel

Showing me the Kingdom of Heaven

Or could it be the Devil Himself

Showing me the Kingdom of Hell

Whichever it is, I DO need to see,

But for whatever reason, I'm not alert

It's not fair that I wake

With these marks

Still no answers

To whom it may be

And all the while

With my soul, they flirt,

Am I condemned or blessed

It's been happening for years

I ask myself now

Why have you never asked before

Maybe because I may never return

Once I physically and soulfully

Walk through that door.

I really like the title. This is a scary piece for me. It gave me chills. It reminded me of one time when I woke up from a deep sleep to find scratches on my back and left leg. You scared me with this one Tarry. Another great piece of work from Tarry Franck.

[Tarry Franck]

Sorry you go through the same things but glad you liked the poem. Hope things get better for you.

As I'm reading this I'm hoping this is your vivid imagination, I can't imagine, although weirder things have happened. Kind of creepy and yet, I wanted a final answer. Walking through that door to me, is leaving a place of denial and facing truths, have no clue if that's where you were going with this but I often feel that way. Intriguing write, as always Tarry. So glad you're back my friend!

[Tarry Franck]

Feels good to be back and yes I can see how you can see it two different ways and yes I need to walk over the threshold but this poem is truthful and can be quite scary at times and has kept me pondering for years. And yes, weirder things HAVE happened. Good to be back my friend. I've missed all of you.

[Frieda P]

Wow, that's pretty freaky, have you been to a professional for that? Amazing, but nothing would surprise me anymore I don't think.

Makes you wonder what is out there....

[Tarry Franck]

Most certainly does...a bit scary but would like to know what creeps when I sleep :)

[Dalia]

its great how you make the reader feel the same fear and lost as you did describing your poem.
wonderful

[Tarry Franck]

Thank you very much dear friend :)

[Dalia]

your welcome :)

[luviva]

well which door???
that is great that you leave your reader with such mind intriging questions..
lloved the concept and the uncertainities in there. just shows how humans are vulnerable without God's care. you see, you dont know who put those marks there.

[Tarry Franck]

Glad you understand this! My apologies for being out of sorts for awhile. You've been missed.

[luviva]

[Ahmad Cox]

I love the way this poem is formatted and the almost eery quality but at the same time beautiful as well.

[Tarry Franck]

Thank you so much :)

[David Scott]

The write was interesting. I was pulled to the end to find the answers. You gave none... Cheeky of you, but I think the best way to write this as well.
I hope this is fiction! Your description is spooky. I would be looking for drugs.

[Tarry Franck]

Unfortunately this is not fiction!!!!!

[David Scott]

My dear friend. You have my prayers and love. I hope you can find true peace and healing dear. Keep writing for sure, as this expression is a starting point on a path to healing.
Be well and rest in love today.

[Tarry Franck]
