Matthew Wetter Poet Sonnet

Of Nightmares and Dreams

I was looking for you in my dreams, dear,
In my dreams only succubi would form.
So I then searched the oceans, there and here,
But I found only salt, water, and storms.
I searched above the mountains, but found sky,
I searched the depths of the earth, to find holes.
I looked afar, and I looked within-- WHY?
Why could I not find you on my patrols?
I gave up escape, hope, settled in there.
Bereft of love, I chose stygian dark.
And as I relaxed into my nightmare
I attuned the glimmering smile of snark.
A dream, delusion in the haedic pit
Love's salvation sent you by the Spirit.
