Tormented Dreams

by Cindy   Sep 21, 2009


Lurking in haze filled shadows
Waiting to plague your sleep
Slithering through the darkness
Into fevered mind evil creeps

Vile demons of nightmares
Haunt tortured laden dreams
Terrified and tormented
No one to hear your screams

Beastly demons growling
Wreak havoc on a troubled soul
Violent suffering forever
Wicked cruelty takes its toll

Desending eternal blackness
Reapers hand now looms near
Welcoming deaths cold slumber
Safely entombed without fear

    Coming back to the site after a long while, I somehow knew that I would be reading a masterpiece from you.But was not prepared for this very dark and chilling piece.It is both dark and sad but awesomely penned.

    This one really captured the terror of nightmares really well.How it ended was really sad how the figure decided to embrace death instead of face them. It very well written i thought. 5/5

    Oh my dear Cindy. This poem is so dark, it gave me chills. It is magnificent and horrifying. The last stanza is great. Your word choice was just perfect. I miss you, dear, and hope this comment finds you well.

    Cold and spooky, like death. A perfect Halloween poem. "Wreak", not "reek" though :-)
