Slumbersome Poems | Examples

Image of Lies

I lay asleep in bed 
wanting to sneak away, 
splitting the curtains of 
reflection hue rainbows
of dawn to dark sunlight. 
Instead I find myself
in a cold confined maze.
Shadows in black mourning;
I shout once than over 
but no one would answer. 

Rage assails no reason. 
Tortured dreams hard to wake 
from screams and fear suppressed.

Grieve I am trying so
hard to put behind me.

I awake slumbersome
and walk into the room
they are in black mourning.

My body's soul had left
me lying in bed while 
it wandered. Thoughts of my
state almost despising
where image dream of lies
grievous mania strives.
