Caden Jones Poet Couplet

My Darkest Dream

I go to bed an close my eyes;
That is when my imagination flies.

I dream of family and friends,
Then I see their ends.

Darkness drowned the light,
And I lost the will to fight.

Darkness walked,
And Fear talked.

In Darkness, I did drown
While Fear held me down.

In Darkness, I had a path to choose,
But what would I gain? What would I lose?

Every feeling of Hope
Was taken and bound with black rope.

Kindness and love were no longer there,
And could not be found anywhere.

I tried to open my eyes, but could not see,
Because Darkness had a hold of me.

I tried to scream and scream,
Trying to wake from this evil dream.

I prayed and prayed. I prayed with all my heart,
And finally the Darkness began to part.

My soul, with joy, does scream,
Because I have waken from my darkest dream.

Robert Pettit January 9, 2011 at 3:04 PM Don't eat anything before you go to bed. A nice set of couplets where a few alterations would be helpful: In the first line, "an" should be "and". This is probably just a typographical error. In the eighteenth line, replace "wake" with "awaken". In the twenty-second line, replace "waken" with "awakened". With these few corrections, you will have a better presentation.
