Dreaming To The Crescent Moon Poem by OTONYE DANIEL

Dreams bled by clos'd eyes
Images and images com by n by
Nightmares interweave my fears to the silence of d crescent moon
The wind and its frnd(ocean) lull a silent croon
Death's brother hath set my excite aglow
My fingers fought my sleeping sheets-In a vain struggle to wake or so..
My dream is of eyes and fangs replete
Blood driplin' on afear'd leaves
Then to the stream, then to the flowers
My daytime joy my dream from me retrieves!
Then drags me to hades and lower
Men with faces of faceless clad
Had for meal a little lad
Then chas'd me down a lane;
The lane a forerunner to a haunted plain
A vast of flowers with swords and shields
Then a tap came to unmarry my lids
My eyes open'd to the morrow-sun
Alas, my dream and night is gone
