dream

Room bright blinding and uncomfortable
strong echo
through the soul
anger & fear is all they know

keep running
run far and never stop
stand to the window but don't jump
there is no door
now way out

shadows of that face send shivers through my whole body
but no stopping 
Don't let him catch you

scared to never wake
to never know peace
with the brightness in this room
i will always long for the dark
never seeing the shadows that i run from
only the faces that haunt me
in this nightmare there is no triumph
only fear ..
like the gate of hell sucking in a small child with worlds of fear ...

hide me in the dark or wake me from this nightmare
cursed to always keep running

I wonder if one triggered the other from you. Did you see the drawing BEFORE or after the write?

[Sarah Redigan]

[Forest Green]

a truly credible portrayal of nightmares that intrude upon the gentleness of sleep...how they can shake the foundations of reality, if only for a time..

nicely done...

[Stanley Wilson]

good writing emotions caught very well indeed enjoyed it

You seem to incorporate so many facts of nightmares. In my own, I can remember running, doors, (not knowing what's behind them) windows, faces...you did a great job of capturing the apprehension that accompany's a nightmare. That point of dying and the quiet that follows it just before waking up is my worst memory.

Great writing and the picture compliments the poem so well.

I hate those dreams when someone is chasing after me ...

Reminds me of hotel California You can check out any time you want you can never leave

The "dream" has the feel of real... The graphic has a different reality - it is intent-full but doesn't fit the dream.

[Everett DeValle]

Wow, breath taking poetry...vivid...you described nightmares so well in this write that I remembered my own lol. Nicely done. Thank you for sharing.

Artwork and words were amazing. I like the feel of darkness and mystery. Dreams can tell us if we are stressed or content. A bad dream mean stress and thinking too hard. A excellent story in the outstanding poem.
