Night Terrors Poems - Poems about Night Terrors

Running down Chicago Ave barefoot brain buzzing hymns and static, neon crucifix blinking above a bodega, the gospel of smoke and piss, all-night diner flickering with ghosts of jukeboxes past—she laughs in her sleep, god I miss her already, dreaming of Congo drums, 3AM baptisms, ash on my tongue and wind in my coat, don’t...

In the pitch darkness of the night Where nightmares come to fright and haunt I lie awake my heart in flight In the pitch darkness of the night Praying, pleading, for morning light When fearsome terrors cease to taunt In the pitch darkness of the night Where nightmares come to fright and haunt ...

What are you thinking all alone, my dear As you sit worried by your fire so bright Do you reflect on the bad days of yore While you stare at the red flickering flame Is there something from your past that you fear So you try to keep the dark out with light As over nightmare memories you pore And...

Night Terrors It sits hiding in the deep recesses of the mind, waiting in the dark for the moment when it can attack. Riding upon the winged beasts of the night, bringing horrors untold to those unaware of their intent. Asleep and unable to defend one’s self, night terrors attack. Seeking the young, the battered, the old,...

Night terrors invaded my dreams last night; unable to breathe, I gasped, terrified. I've experienced nightmares; this was fright; and so intense that once woken, I cried. I hear dead soldiers whisper in my head; their constant murmur, morphing into screams. And I recite prayers to ward off the dead; still, they manifest themselves in my dreams. It begins with little more than...

Untitled Deathly living till dying breath. Somber dreaming a lively death. Body ailing, self enemy. Ever changing the remedy. Boldly living from open womb. Never changing, to closing tomb. Never living a normal life. Ever planning for daily strife. ~J.D. Cromwell...

Night Terrors Before the pink of the morning, When all is dark awaiting, My mind awakes and travels to Places I thought I’d forsaken, It shuffles with its stick, looking under the ashes, For events so long unremembered, And I, I’m shaken and waiting, What does it all mean? Where is the peace of my Savior, When I cry after reliving done and...

How silly for me to fear going to sleep when I need sleep so much. The intensity of fearful thoughts consumes me, and I just can't sleep. When pure exhaustion overcomes me I drift off and pray that this night will be different....will be night terror free. Free from my terrifying screams that shake me awake. That darkness, those in...
