Nightmare [May 29, 2016]

A Poem by Dillan Courtright

Blood drips in an abyss of despair

Alone he sits in the darkness of his nightmare

The corpses of his greed lay beneath his stare

His demented mind swallowed in a cage of fear

 

Within the raging sea lies his mind

Storms of hatred, keep him confined

His madness slowly becoming part of his design

More victims pile as he becomes more refined

 

As the crimson stains an ocean of pain

He becomes part of this world lost in chains

As the blood spills, his lust is sustained

He falls victim to infinite shame

 

The mental binds of resentment hold him fast

Beneath his agony, a pain impossibly vast

He crawls beneath a burden of infinite mass

He trembles and shakes, shatters like glass

 

Broken and beaten, his hollow heart still beats

He opens his eyes, as he lies upon his sheets

His nightmare consumed him, it made him weak

Until his blade of mercy left a red streak
