Bad dream

Have you ever had a bad dream, that wakes you up sweaty, and then it lingers in a fuzzy way? And scared to even fall asleep. So you stay awake… Staring at the dark….

Bad dream
Plays out 
Torments
behind the closed eyes

Cold Sweat 
on the brow
and a pounding heart
That almost died

Woke up 
relieved
It was unreal
made up with a bunch of lies

Awake now
Dream yet lingered 
Fading, yet Laden
With a list of whys 

Unreal t’was
But the fear wasn’t
limits of reason
It brazenly defies

I try and forget
and sleep again
unable to shed the memory
Despite the eager tries

There I lay
Staring at the dark 
Afraid of my own mind
Of what it can conjure and fantasise

Half asleep
Or half awake
drifting in between 
the fretful mind and tired eyes

Still, in the storm

In the storm, two leaves
Tossed around Mercilessly
Afraid of chaos
Lonely, hurt and uncertain
Blown away to the nowhere 

Then in a moment
In a miraculous act
They lock together
Swirling and dancing as one
still, together, forever 

In the eye of storm
Swirling melodiously
The storm meant no threat
Everything stood still and watched
Only Song they heard, not roar
