Dark Dream Poem by Viola Grey

Dark Dream

Rating: 4.3


Sleep, that unwanted dream,
where Angels drown your wings
in muddy puddles of unwanted tears,
in flames of forgotten fears.

Demons find sweet satisfaction
in every sad idea
pitifully whispered
to guardians of the dead.

Slip now into night's soft coma,
reject fantasies of insomnia,
toss...don't turn your back again,
dreams are every teardrop's friend.

without the dark side of dreams we would be at a loss to evaluate, alas we are often drawn on by a desire to purge ourselves and seek into the dark side, from creative curiosity inspiring10

Once I had this aweful dream where everyone was playing beautiful instruments for me and the more they played for me the sicker I got. I woke up heckov sick. I loved my dream though and it took me a while to realize that it was a nightmare.
