Dreams or Nightmares

Boredom incarnate.

Dying in the paper blank drifting snow

Relying on the dank and shifting old bones

Emptied of thoughts, memories, emotions

Anger in knots, energies, notions

Meaningless now as I sink away

Slipping into an uncaring decay

 

Otherling light envelopes me now

Raising me up, as simple as Dao

 

Nothing can harm me in this simple place

Initiate in an everlasting embrace

Gone is the anger, gone is the hate

Happiness now with no pearly white gate

Time holds no judgements, space knows no crime,

Matter is energy and energy benign

Awakening now in my warm womb-like bed

Remembering where my sleeping had led

Eventually I will find that good place

Soon will be peace, but at my own pace.

Reviews

[Rogue]

This is the first one of these types of poems I have read that actually contain the rhyming schematic. It just flows down the page. Nothing clunky or crowded at all about it. Just an awesome job really.

Thank you, thank you.

[The Nameless]

Very interesting and very true.
Great idea with the title vertically written, as you already know.

I love your choice of words - creative and it really describes the feeling well.

[Rob Santana]

Very smooth flowing piece. Well penned. How did you get your acrostic letters black.

[Saichiro Wolftotem]

Believe it or not I just highlighted them and made each letter bold.

I love this so much. I'm usually not a fan of poetry- but I love this piece. It is beautiful. I want to see more of your poems on writerscafe.org!

Nyaw, thank you!
