NIGHT TERRORS

 

NIGHT TERRORS

Darkness comes in shadows, along the crystal lake,

     Speaking of lost innocence that came too soon

          Carrying each disheartened thought far past the mind

 

Darkness slurps up the shadows, stealing all the light

     Sending hope of promise to the neverending blackness

          Lost in melancholy dreams of a forgotten love

 

Darkness consumes all happiness, leaving only sadness in its wake

     Draining the spark of stars that used to shine in darkened sky

          Sky looms heavy stifling each labored breath

 

Darkness swells the heart to burst deep within the chest

     Halting life's beating sound as silence fills the air

          Waking from night terrors gasping for breath

 

Darkness takes a backseat when eyes come full awake

     Light spills in from every side as the moon takes up its space

          Stars have found their sparkling power and its finally known

 

Darkness in this nightmare that intended to take control

     Sleep is overrated when nightmares consumes the mind

          Insomnia is a blessing when darkness devours all light

and I fully enjoyed the concept behind the meaning, its dark and ambitious,
as well as intriguing, the form. flow and function all blend beautifully.
