Have you ever experienced a scream dream
In which you are terrifyingly scared
You attempt to scream in the dream
Yet no noise is released just air!
As you lay asleep in the real world
You are making strange whimpering sounds
The scream in the dream never materialises
Before you wake and are earth bound
For the first time ever a few weeks ago
I actually was able to scream in my dream
As my husband lay asleep on the couch
In front of the t.v screen
Awoken by continual blood curdling screams
The loudest he had ever heard
He ran into our bedroom
Thinking l was being murdered
Decades and decades of unleashed dream screams
Were released from me in one night
Leaving me feeling shattered and shaken
And giving my husband the fright of his life

My heart is heavy
For I wonder what’s next
In this world so steady
When you don’t feel the hex
Is it just a game again
I hear you say
And I have lost many friends
Don’t be lost just stay
The hex materialises
And cover won’t help
For it comes in many disguises
So away from you it you should melt.

It stifles me -
the heavy breathing down my neck.
I feel the force of your love
overwhelming in its intensity
and it stifles me.
You think you know me
but you love a memory, and you
mould and cajole until it materialises
into tangible reality,
but it stifles me.
You said I would fly
yet you clip my wings and contain me.
You speak my words and you restrain me.
You rock me this way and that,
and it unsettles me.
You stifle me with good intention.
You say you love me
but forgot to mention
that I would drown in this
adoration, struggling for air
as it stifles me.
This deluge has overcome me
and I am falling from my pedestal,
falling from grace, I must escape,
because it stifles me.
