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...

Poems about Science 5: Evolution
POEMS ABOUT SCIENCE 5: EVOLUTION Fly’s Eyes by Michael R. Burch Inhibited, dark agile fly along paint-peeling sills, up to the bright glass drawn by radiance compounded thousandfold,— I do not see the same as you, but hold antenna to the brilliant pane of life and buzz bewilderedly. In your belief the world outside is “as it is” because you see it clearly, windowed without flaws, you...

Goodnight
When I see your fantasy, My heart is filled with ecstasy; Roses my eyes do see. When I set them to lie, Over night's terrors they can't survive But in your beauteous light do rely. Goodnight to our sleepless souls, Which linger not in holes; But with endless oaths, stronger than poles: Wherewith loving dreams can't help, Espying the daily memories kep'. We'd play in the...

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
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
Why can’t I sleep, when will this end, this up all nights, becoming a trend, I can’t switch off, my head is full, my lights are out, my room is dull, there’s not much noise, my comfy bed, these nasty voices, inside my head, they never shut up, they never stop talking, if feel like...
