OH BLANKET OF DREAMS EMBRACE ME,
LIFT ME OUT OF THIS WEARY STATE;
TAKE ME TO PLACES, FULFILL MY DESIRES -
AWAY FROM THE WORLD, AWAY...
WHERE THE LOVE NEVER DIES;
WHERE THE PEACE NEVER FADES;
WHERE THE ECHO OF ANGELS IS HEARD.
A HAPPY ME;
A COMPLETE ME;
THE ME I NEED TO BE.

OH NAILBED OF NIGHTMARES RELEASE ME.
THE SHACKLES OF PAIN, THE BURDON OF MIND - FLEE ME.
ANGER. ANGER. SAD, SAD BEING.
TWISTED, TORTURED, BATTERED SOUL.

I like this poem a lot, Dee, often the dreams we wish for have a way of turning into the worst nightmares. The use of ALL CAPS makes it kind of hard to read, I might suggest standard case in the future. Still a good read, welcome to the Dark Forum.

And after-drunkeness of soul
Succeeds the glory of the bowl -
An idle longing night and day
To dream my very life away

About the CAPS... I agree they have to go! I'm so use to working in CAPS, that I'm not aware of it anymore... oops!

Give us directions when you find this place because we're all lost on different roads, looking for the way to...Where the love never dies, Where the peace never fades. This was wonderful, CAPS or no.
