    So sad and powerful!
    "Nightmares ravened by thoughts
    of all the world's impurities
    Substantiated night by night
    while I am lost in my insecurities"
    ^^^ I love this stanza, awesome work!

    A very intelligent and profound poem. You have taken much care over this and it has had astaounding results.

    I liked:

    "Sleep is the exploitation of true feelings
    and the most vulnerable of emotions"

    A unique topic to write about and you approach it with vigour yet sensitivity. It worked so well I didnt notice the clever rhyme embedded in it. Nicely done....

    Wow this is such an original poem... I've never read such a poem
    "In the throes of a deep sleep
    where I have no chance of escape"
    Very true..thats what scarses me about dreams...and the fact they are so real
    I just thought it explored the dark side of sleep...the uncontollable...and frightening side
    It's strange how you wake up and your dreams make sense to what you were thinking about
    Amazing...just amazing

    I'm blown away. I really like the way you finished this one off. As if there were something to come thereafter, and we are left hanging and the words we aren't given. What are those very implications. Makes you think a little. Very nice. I look forward to reading more. Welcome to my favorites.

    I would have to say everything is from the state of anyones mind really. I mean it's your mind that makes you think of stuff and then our minds for wondering what's going on. It's a crazy world out there and there's so much people seeing so many things, this poem is just one of those things that you can see and we can't. Or you can feel but we can't touch you know.

    i think you did an amazing job on this poem, i really enjoyed reading it. keep it up. keep on writing. love always and forever. Oooh! by the way thank you for the comments means alot to me.

    Good write.
    I liked how you explored many areas of the unconsious mind, from dreams to nightmares.
    Your rhymes were constant throughout aiding the flow.
    One thing that bothers me is the syllable count on the first line is 5 and on the very last line it is 13, now that's a big difference. You probably weren't writing this with syllable count in mind, but a huge gap like that affects the flow of the overall poem.
    Try to keep the count more or less the same to achieve a constant structured flow.

    Your use of diction was impressive and the use of more creative words made the poem just that bit better.

    Good job, keep writing.
