Night Sweats

I dreamed the PoUnDiNg at the door.
YELLING, telling me "What For!"
Awoke to sweating, drenched and more.
Fear had broke to tears in pour.

Awakened thoughts in generalize.
Lips too frozen, silent cries.
Shadows crossed the blur of eyes.
Heart rhyme-beating rhythm lies.

Walked the halls in thoughts of you.
Face pressed hard through window view.
Below that tree, where climb could do.
No powdered prints, just words untrue.

Disquiet look of foolishment,
As words in type, from fingers, print.


~Wynter

Sonnet-like.  The 4 line rhyme and constant motion line together well with the general sense of franticness that you communicate in the poem.  Very entertaining read.

Maureen, Now, of course I cannot relate

Makes you wish it was all a bad dream,
and I think that is the scarriest part.

Nicely done nt.

*sigh* I agree with 1slick_lady...our hearts get hurt too often by things that seem to be something we hope for....words can be so deceiving...My heart hurt for you reading this poem. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Canuckster..just call it a "Moonchild Sonnet"
I enjoy entertaining you with my franticness
which this was written, as I awoke with it
on my lips.
Thank you.
M

Kay... sure you can relate *laughing*
thanks for your support...
by the way I actually woke up
in night sweats, with no need to
impress...I wore them to sleep in
and keep warm..haaa see I do have
a sense of humor...at times.*s

and I do believe in your signature,
very much
Maureen



Serenading one...well it is ALL
a bad dream, and MORE..but I can
either live or die..and only one
option works for me
Thanks *s hugsss

Noah...
all expressions are from my heart...
thank you again *s  
hugsss and Keep smiling.

Victoria... yes that pounding woke
me up and that phantom voice
dragged me down to this thing
to get it out of my system *s
thanks ~V..you are greatly appreciated.
huggsss
                                                
Magnus...many hidden messages within,
sometimes I don't even detect them
'til later on..*s  Just teasin' ya  
thanks for the visit
Maureen

1slick_lady ...most things aren't
what they seem to me anymore...
sad that it took me so long to realize
that and to get out of this idealistic,
naive, fairytale world I have been
living all my life.
Thank you for the read, Helen.


Karen...I never hope for anything,
never have, never will,
I always BELIEVED until lies destroyed it.
I can live with hurt, would rather live with
truth...
Thank you for your time and friendship.
hugss


Bill...you light up a smile in me,
just by being you.
Thanks, Always
Maureen
