Nightmares Poems - Poems about Nightmares

A bottle of gin for every sin within lair of an evil twin The likes of a flying kite, away from gloom of this room. September's never a rest but eyes up another glass cup. A bird's breasts trembling detests the coldness of a night's icy test, a tune meant for her is a noise blur lost in the tavern and I can't have...

Have to keep the door closed (after that midnight treat) The coyote or wolf far off (too close) Can’t remember the plot (salsa has tightened its grip) upon awakening (not at all sure of that) the widening of the dark I open the door slowly to the shadows (a strange light and likeness) The wild animal is scarier enclosed, inhibited (it tears at my throat, claws my innards - from...

Dare to be Rare, Compare Nowhere, It's okay if they Stare. Is there anybody there? Is there anyone anywhere? Is there anything you wish to share? I tried looking elsewhere, They didn't seem to care, It didn't seem fair. A dream or nightmare, Peering through a blank stare, Unaware, I see the masks they wear. Dare to be rare, Compare nowhere, Time has come to be a pair. We are...

I hate having bad dreams, They can taunt you and torture you, Scare you and male you scream, There are many more things they can also do, Like hurt you, harm you, Make you cry out in pain, You can do things in them you would never do, Like murdering people and constantly being left with a blood stain, Bad dreams aren’t just...

PTSD massive explosion fireball lights up the dark sky screams for the medic cries for mother torn bodies lying at my feet snap and pop of burning ammo assaults my ears smell of burnt flesh fresh in my nose I am frozen in place, I can’t help anyone, my mouth moves but I can’t speak I alone am left alive. I awake in my bed, trembling...

On a rope woven from ancestral nightmares and the greed of shadow monsters, I step with bare feet, while my thoughts dance chaotically in a penumbra, Between dream and reality, between sky and earth, between here and beyond myself, I float suspended in the cold air, and the city below reveals its posthumous secrets. They always whispered not to...

Darkness deals with your dusty dirty wares, Shadows shine, shimmering in sheering sears, Stars twinkle topmost on the tossing trees, To crisply cuddle the blistering breeze. Fearless forests friends forbid foolish spies, Listen long, lively laughter lifts...

Sleepless every night, My mind's deprived of the light. Even in midnight, I can't sleep tight. Sleep's always in delay, It feels like a replay. Can't rest even for a day, I feel like my body starts to decay. My eyes are heavy, But I can't rest idly. Every time my eyes shut, it's clingy, It feels like a demonic entity. When my eyes are open, I...

Dancing in the rain of my madness Singing songs of heartbreak and plight. Laughing and crying, twirling and thrashing There is no sunshine without the night. Walk with me through the storm clouds Feel the lightning, embrace the wind. There is a party full of well-dressed nightmares, You are all more than welcome to attend. They have glasses full of bitter-sweet sorrow tiny cakes...

I can't wake up on time I feel like I'm wasting my life As the night goes by I'm stuck lying in my bed asking why When I wake up the sun is high I miss seeing the sun rise I'm trying to fix my schedule Hope my failure isn't inevitable...

Tears behind the cocktails, Rowing down to calmness Oasis was found, Pure life's gratitude I found after my mistake. Confident I feel while I'm breathing loneliness. Awake with open eyes Lonely in a tropical island. Isolated in the middle of the world, I wonder. I wander. Sun shines above me with compassion, but I'm struggling. Lucky that I saw a boat I could call its...

We’re manufactured girls, designed to be beautiful and pointless. Everything we tell you has to be true, we feel we can open up to you. We’re decorated and prepared for sacrifice. We can touch your tender isolation and reinforce your inadequate truths. We can mirror your internal struggles and help you shape your damnation. You’ve caressed our powerless distress a thousand times, with sleep's dark...
