Array ( [sid] => 147961 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => All A Dream [time] => 2009-02-14 19:13:03 [hometext] => My second, serious poem about a young man who has a nightmare and runs from a mystery person who he calls demon. [bodytext] => I see a man standing on an altar
I walk up to him and ask for his name
He stares into my eyes and I fall back
"This is my world, and you're playing my game"

Running away I open the gates
Falling down the grassy hill
I stumble and trip over a mound
"I'm coming in for my kill"

I heard as I looked behind me
That same man was flying high
I watched as he drew his sword
Threw it fast and hit my eyes

I laid back and fell asleep
A light shone through the cloudless night
The man who killed, screamed and screamed
"This is not my last fight!"

I see the light growing fast
I'm speeding in towards it now
I close my eyes and pray to god
That this will end too, somehow

I breathe in a panic, sweating bad
I drink some water in a sigh of relief
In my dream this demon dies
And my life's good even when I sleep [comments] => 1 [counter] => 177 [topic] => 14 [informant] => crookedpoet09 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DreamsandWishes )

Had my heart racing while reading this. It is like that spook movie you watch with the lights off and you are almost holding your breath in suspense.

Good work

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
