Awakened From A Deep Slumber

In a deep slumber
Dreaming of the unknown
Suddenly awakened
I  was startled
My cat beside me
She is fast asleep
She did not awake me
Something did awaken me
It felt like a shape
Laying beside me
I sat up quickly
Searching the bedroom
Looking under the bed
There was nothing seen 
Yet I felt something
I did not sleep
My thoughts were racing
What was it laying
Beside me unseen
Was it a ghost?
if so who was it?
It was eerie

Oooh. I'd have run screaming like a little girl phew!. I had to sleep with one eye open one night. No one is going tell me John Bioy,' Richard Thomas, is acting in the movie,'' Dow Out and Dangerous''. No one could act that good. He must be a crazed mad psychopath. It could have been anything. Hope it went away. well done got the creeps, Pete.

Hello Pete, oh Pete, this dream still spooks me. I have no clue what woke me up. Yet it felt like something was beside me. It took me a while to sleep. this dream is a mystery to me. it creeped me oujt. /Darlene/

A mystery evolved with wonderous poetry intense and fearful, and most unknown. You told your dream wonderfully well Darlene, and believing it to be true even when you woke up made it more creepy. I love this poem, it definitely aroused emotions. Well done. Best wishes from Wendy.

A fantastic job of writing this Narrative poem, Darlene. It was very intense and scary. Dreams or experiences like yours can really be upsetting, I hope you're alright now. I'm adding this to my FAVs list. Dramatic poetry, my friend. Hugs, Bill

Well pictured and captured. This happened to me three days back. I felt something walked on me, I woke up quickly and turned on the lights yet I saw nothing. So I prayed and slept like a baby with the confidence that I have prayed. Dear ma, let's always endeavour to pray and plead the BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST over our souls before we sleep night or day. I love you, Shalom.

Sometimes a dream can seem so real that you have trouble decerning whether or not it truly was a dream. This is well written and leaves one with a feeling of eeriness. Good stuff. God Bless, JB

My dear Darlene. I enjoyed reading this wonderful poem. A misterious one. Sometimes it happens. Our dreams look so real that, even when we wake up, we keep feeling the strange sensation as if they were alive. I can picture every word you wrote. Fantastic my friend. Have a nice evening, I wish you nice dreamsxxxx
