THE NIGHTMARE

You're ready to sleep

As the night rolls in

Immersed in darkness

The nightmare begins.

Your inside world,disrupted

The nightmare starts within

Corrupting all your senses

The haunting now begins.

Taking hold of your senses

Turning them upside down

Your body is turning and tossing

The nightmare enjoys your surrounds.

Turning, tossing

Twisting your mind

The nightmare takes hold

The usual tell tale signs.

You try to run

You cannot hide

There's no escape

Until the sunrise.

But when the sun meets the horizon

The nightmare slowly withdraws

Your eyes are now opening

Reality is at your door.

You see the light of day

Peace of mind is by your side

The night is now behind you

The nightmare's in decline

              -------------- until the next time.

I don't dream nightmares. I dream worst. Work haunt my dreams.
"The night is now behind you
The nightmare's in decline
-------------- until the next time."
Awaken from a work dream can mean back to work. I enjoyed the poem. The good description led the reader to the happiness of awakening. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
