Nightmares often haunt me as I try to rest.

Nightmares

By Kathy Lynn

 

Late at night the nightmares begin,

 demons know when I am weak.

Creeping into my bedroom,

                           into the other world they drag me

As I lie asleep.

 

There are quagmires there,

nettle bushes pull at my hair.

I hear the screams of others,

sounds piercing my ears

 

  The insidious tortures,

they know so well.

Demons looking for souls,

carting them off to hell.

 

Sweating I wake in fright.

 No more sleep will I get,

 another unholy night

Dreams of what happens in reality can last unless you change the circumstances. Powerful poem.

I have not had nightmares for years now but I used to have them as a child. Fortunately now I have a lot of dreams and they are usually good. I empathize with you and I hope that your nightmares will become lovely dreams, Kathy. Love, hugs, and best wishes,

Our nightmares all too often reflect our daytime fears or our past real life nightmares. They are not easy to subdue or defeat. Good write Kat. Well done.

I hate nightmares. Mine are not as you describe, but are real life situations...I always try to go back to sleep and complete the dream in a better way, but the trouble with nightmares is that it is almost impossible to do...
