Dreamless

Anything is better than Nothing.

Nothing left. Nebulous me
I am bereft of sanity.
I cannot sleep. I cannot die.
I cannot Dream; my soul on high.

What happened to my nighttime world
where visions of beauty and terror lay curled?
Like serpents in the primordial tree
Illusory temptations beckoning me

I'm primal screaming
It is my right
I'm not Dreaming
In the night

Horrific truth; definitely real
tattered spirit light
a dead God's meal
No respite for this anguish
My imagination does Languish

Give me knowledge through Gates of Horn
of what may come; as yet unborn
Or tawdry deceits through Gates of Ivory
Just help me escape this mental briery

I'm primal screaming
it is my right
I'm still not Dreaming
in the night

Oneiric Lords
To you I pray
Make me your ward
till break of day!

Something pleasant
Something baneful
Something vibrant
something painful

I'm primal screaming
it is my right
for I'm...

Am I Dreaming now???
Wake up!

im in utter awe of the words you use to paint the picture...dreams can be scary but not to have them....

[Kaylor Mason]

If you go without dreams, you're luckier than you can imagine. I sure wish I could sleep without dreams. 99.9 percent of all my dreams are nightmares and flashbacks, and it's a rare night when I don't dream them.

[Kenneth The Poet]

Forced and forged by your awesome hands and mind. Beautiful, mesmerizing.

[Tai Ryens]

Absolutely Amazing, I loved how you rhyme with the words and use meaning with it. Nicely done, and beautifully written! I love how you ended too, left me wondering whether it was insomnia or a nightmare

"Something pleasant

This was absolutely amazing. I lovelovelove reading your poetry! So much depth that isn't just one sided. Ugh, you're my new favorite writer right now. xD You captured the sleep deprive insomniac side of you so beautifully in a rhyme scheme that was out of this world.

Love the rhyme. Not being able to sleep is a nightmare in itself. I love the change at the end, leaves the readers something to think about. Are you awake or asleep?

[Judy Ponceby]

Like this a lot. Good rhyme. Especially like the refrain. Insomnia is a brutal thing at times.
