Dream Catcher

When the light of the sun begins to fall Echoes of thoughts begin to ball Drifting into a sleepless state Possibilities grow, at a relentless rate I open my mind, in a wonderland of no validity Emphasized by a walk, through a mirror of fluidity Children's laughter in a sadistic tone This dream is a nightmare, far from home The path I am walking........leads to a house Beyond the door, I wish for my friend, my lover and spouse As the door creaks open a figure is revealed I brace myself, my numbness is my shield A wrinkled hand reaches out from the black It grabs my wrist, leaving no time to fight back As I'm dragged into the darkness, the figure becomes clear The face of my victim, my deepest fear

Nathan-there is a contest that is currently going on that I would encourage you to enter with this awesome poem...I believe it is called DREAMS. You have a smooth sense of rhyme and great creativity. May I welcome you with a grand HELLO to a fun and encouraging community. I have only met 1-2 kooks since I started back in January. :) Take Care. Jump in the Soup.
