Darkness has fallen
Again

My mind
To pitiful for slumber

Afraid to dream
Again

Clutching the sheets
In a primal sweat

Knowing
If sleep does arrive
With it
It will bring

Thoughts
Of the
Faceless man

Who haunts me

He
The king of nightmares
The ruler of the night

Just waiting
To chase me
To intertwine
His life with mine

So I lie
Eyes wide open
Clutching the sheets
Praying for daylight
To scare him away

My own
Personal
Hell

Attaché a nice face to his thought,,,keep that face focused,,,long,,,and HE,,will be that nice face,,and NOT the bad man of your self conscious.
Or,,,lol,,,find a man who can keep you up all night making love,,,til morning breaks,wink,lol

Dark dreams find sunshine every morning . . . I like this poem.

Arrh
i roll and kick the cover
restless
eyes shut but acheing and my legs O so restless
i kick the cover
damm cover
its always getting twisted never stays on
i plump and flip the pillow
Ahh
i carnt sleep
but yet?
should i get out of bed?
i roll and kick the cover
curseing
O for a silent-nite
my double-bed fit for a lover
but yet?
damm cover
i plump and flip the pillow
my legs restless i kick the cover
laying in bed cuz its dark not feeling tired
im sick of this!
laying awake
mind active
in till day-light comes and then i sleep
bad dreams?
i get night-terrors
sweats and wakeing with tears.
simple fact
sleeping
a human spends how many years?
NOT ME!
.
i feel ya tammy! nice. X

Much could be read into this, course we all have our own personal nightmares.....that no one can truly understand but the one who tosses and turns.....you've explained the "fear factor" well, good job, now go to sleep and kick his ***.

Thanks everyone!

It's morning

I smile once again!

Very expressive. Personal imagery. I really enjoyed this.
It reminds me of alcoholism... but that's just personal attachment.
And whatever you wrote it about I really enjoyed reading it.

tammy, i love it

Thanks!!!

Tammy as the darkness comes,, fear not your not alone darlin
holding you in my thoughts,, carrying you in my dreams,,,,
smile,, let the tranquility of the Autumn breeze bring you
peace

Hugs to you

Thank you
