391 Dreams, Precarious In The Night

Posted Apr 11, 2012 · 18 lines · 2 critiques

Dreams, precarious in the night
Flashbacks of never a time
And the memory breaths,
A touch to liquefy bone
As fear takes residence within the mind
Pleasantry is frightened by the night
The darkness penetrates the iris
Blinding only the eyes
While the mind dissipates from reason
The wakening within the dream
Mutes even the blistering silence
What the mind depicts
Causes the stomach to writhe
The tightening tendrils force the eyes to open
And morning echoes the sin

"How nicely put together, smooth and evenly moving, the content left me longing to stay. It's hard to choose a favorite part as it all just flowed so nicely. Thank You Tommi"

"Firstly a great welcome to Neopoet site.... This work is very good, the loss of so much in the first Stanza then the memory kicks in to remember other things, though I would have loved the memory to remember those thing…"
