A poem about dreams and nightmares and the mystery and terror they can bring.

Dreams

By Joshua Tchaou

Devils, angels, shouts and screams,

Tossing, turning, nightmares, dreams

You’re running, being chased

Free, but then you’re encased

Can’t control passing through your mind

Roaming hills, pastures, trying to find

What brought you here by such force?

It is a dream? Of course, of course

Then in a blink of an eye!

The scene you mostly espy

Disappears and you’re pulled!

Into a land of darkness, you’re lulled!

Creatures with eyes of red,

Ceaseless bellowing till fed,

Why’d you come to the land of dares?

The only answer is of nightmares!

Here in the land of the dead

Heathen creatures that brings tears to shed,

Some people act brave some others weep

But none knows that it is in their sleep

You run you screech

You’re within these creatures reach

What will happen…..? No one can tell

Of what fate you have befell

But at last you awake all sweaty and frightened

From the sunshine shining through, you’re enlightened

Last night’s mind quest forgot

Dress for school while the small memories rot

Then at the day’s end, down you lay

Closing eyes, wisp away

You then leave this world and search in mind’s space

Old ones gone, now a new race will-o-w

You enter the realm

But in what realm?

What brought you here by such force?

It is a dream? …… of course, of course
