Nightmares - a Tri-Fall

Nightmares - A Tri-Fall

From nightmares when sleeping
we waken:
alarmed by our nightmare dreams.
With thoughts we were keeping,
forsaken,
by sounds of our wakening screams!

When incubus appear
in our dream, 
and sheer terror frightens our soul,
we in panic and fear
shout or scream,
as we lose emotive control! 

Dreams are but delusion:
never real.
Simply illusive fantasy!
But in sleep’s confusion,
we oft feel,
they’re a part of reality!
