Could Be Anywhere...

Nightmares?

Whispers became insistent
awakened at three in the morn
bolt upright, shaking, sweating.
Trembling hand lighting cigarette
deadly glow revealing obscure faces
memories of a distant tomorrow.

Sucking sweet death deep inside
the glow like quivering campfire
pale illumination, half remembered.
Whispering, taking on form and face
haunted by those once known, perhaps
bizarre predictions, almost remembered.

The world sleeps, unbeknownst
as poet chats, dances with tomorrow
yesterday reinforced, even testifies.
Silent party with those left behind
wondering questions filling the years
gifting memories of future yet to come.

Laughing out loud to dark emptiness
mind filled with phantoms, demanding attention
shaking hand drawing death nigh, illuminates.
Suspecting this just might be insanity
talking to ghosts who whisper insomnia
taking notes on tomorrow’s tomorrow.

Sorry, no book button to check...

What a brilliant little piece
to stumble upon in the early morn
of musing.

Wonderful !

*No little book button as the
submission time has come to an end.
The voting process continues for a while.

Cheers for a piece well-done.
