A bad dream

Is a darker set poem. About a man having a bad dream. Cant give to much away.

Wake up, wake up

It’s all but a bad dream

Wake up!

He awakes-

Shooting up with a hard breath and heavy panting,

He is gasping for air.

But no one’s there.

He finds a gasp.

And shaking at dark he finally finds the light,

Switch. He turns it on.

The shadows stay still.

Until the switch is switched again,

But the shakes remain.

although he is safe in light, as he thought.

A storm has began to brew.

He better get his coat,

For strong winds are coming very soon.

But he is safe. 

After all it was just a bad dream, So he thought. 

He thinks

Fidgeting around for his specs,

A way to calm his nervous is a cup of tea.

Although the storm is brewing,

The tea is done.

So he drinks and the shakes stop.

All is calm, he thought 

So back to bed he heads.

Glasses off and switch switched.

And the shadows freed.

all in all it was just a bad dream,

So he thought.

But now the storm has arrived,

And he can’t wake up no more.
