Best Bad Dream Poems


A Bad Dream
A dream, bad from every nook
In front of my eyes, so painful.
Eyes of mine being tearful
And petrified of the remembrance, I looked.

Deep down somewhere inside the heart
Lies a monotonous melancholy,
Lording slowly, speaking distinctly
Of the ones, moving willingly or unwillingly, apart.

The awful reverberation of the pains,
The...

Another Bad Dream
I had a dream last night it reminded me of chaos
Nightmares, the reality self identified the sacrifices i made do they payoff
The butcher's got the blade in his hand but does he got a spade in his pocket
To gamble with your life , to throw...

1:  A bad dream will protrude in the new light
And the first conscious breathe will lapse,
Until the warm air of morning kills the night.

The dark images now simmer but not burn.
And the chaser and the tormentor must wait,
Until the moon composes the next nocturne....

It Feels Like a Bad Dream
It feels, like a bad dream that I had when I was young.
No one, cares or believes. "It's the past. Let it be done." 
I hear the beasts in the closet calling out my name.
I'll be safe under covers, but I'll never be the same.
No,...

A Bad Dream
Dangerous dreams flood 
over me in darkness and 
the weight of them drowns me 
like a tidal wave 
sinking me into my mattress
and spiraling me through the 
rabbit hole on the other side
to somewhere on sixth street
forcing me into an open bar 
where smoke rings...

Like a Bad Dream
That keeps repeating over and over again
For twenty two years your face is all I have seen
did medication and therapy for all the emotional swings but nothing helped me

Because all the anger and rage is still trapped up inside of me
After seven trips to the...

Bad Dream At Night
to write a wrong
won't make you strong

letters can hurt
feeling like dirt

face to face
no disgrace

for the flame is dead
my heart became lead

I had three swings of the bat
can't see nothing wrong with that

you will say I'm this or that
may even say that I'm fat
 
after you...

A Bad, Bad Dream
In the far off distance the cannons make their report,
As we huddle in groups to show our support.

Blindly attacked, all we can do is to try to hit back,
Hiding in light, it’s at night when we assume our attack.

Outnumbered and outgunned since the government took...

Bad Dream, Let's Hope
All of a sudden there I was being led to where I did not 
want to go, and I wasn't alone in this fact.
Killer bees telling us what to do, where to go, where to sit, 
when to kneel and pray, how to be, ...

A Bad Dream
A bad dream
There was a dreamer boy who dreams a lot and does nothing. He plays also when the boy had a pre examine,
When he entered the pre examine, he failed. He sang
As this
I dream to be a butterfly
Go every where and fly
See beautiful colors...

A Bad Dream
A BAD DREAM
Dr. Jim Martin

I tossed and turned throughout the night,
And with my pillow had a terrific fight.
I wondered if I would ever be all right,
And hoped for morning with all my might.

Was it something that I did eat?
It must have been quite a feat!
A...

The Bad Dream
An ailing scent in the aura,
Murky sky wherever I look,
Muddle visuals by my side,
Like my whole destiny shook.

Enormous croak in society,
Laying me in great baffle,
Strange eye of crowd at me,
As they were in a great shuffle.

I bid to peek into other scenes,
But no sight of...

Premium Member A Bad Dream
Sunny, sultry afternoon; a playing breeze tosses my hair.
Eyes...I feel eyes and glance upwards;
By the water well, the Grim Reaper and he is filling the well from a large vessel with,
his eyes on me.

Setting down the vessel, a bony protrusion waving towards me, slowly, ever...

Premium Member How I Wish Today Was Just A Bad Dream
Oh how I wish with my yearning nostalgic heart
That I could wake up to find
Today had just been a nightmare of a dream
And it was still the wonderful 1980s
When I was still young carefree and so nieve
And what I could have been
And what I could...

Premium Member A teacher's recurring nightmare
Today again, I went to go teach, totally unprepared.
And fearing the principal would come observe me had me so scared,
I rambled through the room, floundering and fluttering.
And then a student asked, "Mr J, why are you muttering?
Do I sense maybe ~ you're just a little...
