Eve Roper Poet Sonnet

Drift From Heaven and Into Hell

Muddled, eyes slowly drift off to slumber.
Through labyrinth blackness, perception ambles.
Blurring thoughts, a carousel of blunders, 
spell I'm under, waning motion rambles.

Unearthed from the nadir, dragged from hiding,
wedged in a dream embraced by the cold dark.
Awaken by my screams not heard; finding
it was a dream, leaving a chilling mark.

Surrendering streams of tears mar my face,
a victim of deep fears and silent screams.
Cradled  in his affectionate  embrace,
warding off baneful effects of my dreams.


Dreams of love, dream that take you into hell,
where unresolved unconscious problems dwell.

Daniel Turner June 19, 2017 at 2:59 PM I hate nights like that! I suppose if one has to wrestle demons, hell is where you find them. It is true, unresolved problems can really haunt one's dreams. I have first hand knowledge.Really nice sonnet, Mrs Eve:) I love to read sonnets! Eve Roper June 19, 2017 at 8:43 PM Thank you, Daniel, I too often have them, why I have no idea. My husband says that he hears me, but then I get silent ~*

White Wolf June 19, 2017 at 1:58 PM Superbly crafted sonnet, Eve! One must pass through hell in order to get to heaven! So they say! Eve Roper June 19, 2017 at 8:44 PM Thank you, WW, that is what I also hear. It does make me wonder ~*
