Nightmare

One night I had a dream A legion of demons chasing me In the middle of night in the woods Stumbling on the ghostly tree roots I was running in a nightmarish daze Dry branches scratching my face Tying my arms with whitish charms Of spider webs scattered Loose in the thickness of night I felt the wind touching my face In a mortal terrifying chase I was about to escape But the earth opened wide And I fell in to the water pool Reflecting green face of the moon Laughing at me in a loud Echoing cold chuckling sound The water embraced me And kissed my cheeks I felt my mother’s arms Around me for a moment Of sweet comforting relief But then I woke up in freezing Water holding my arms Tied in a knot behind my back in a strange eerie way That happens in dreams When you can fly But you can’t scream With mouth open wide And words stuck in my throat Dry chapped lips Begging for escape But no sound leaving my chest I tried to get break of the Hold of freezing waters With my eyes open wide Holding on the branches Of the trees tops high in the sky Where I saw the first rays of sun Breaking the horizon line Hanging on the hope Not to lose the sight Till morning comes So my dream can be broken In to pieces like a scattered glass and locked in the dark corner where nightmares belong So I can wake up in the morning And not remember Last night’s terrifying journey
