Nightmare

Hollow rushing
Up down waves
Sounds of nothing
Crush and fade

A sodium bite
On fingers and tongue
A shower of spite
Stinging me numb
Tears in my lungs
Choking me dumb

A crystal crack
Under the door
Shrinks slowly back
Then grows once more

An angel of flame
Flares into shape
Wishing me away
Before I awake




Lotharingia

Sounds like a bad one. The dreams we dream are but phantoms, they harm or heal only if we give them life. Nicely done.

~Uta,...your writings always stick in my head. I sort of memorize bits of them and find myself reciting them throughout my day. Needless to say,...they have a lasting effect. Super scary. Take it EZ. *Peace.
