Mister Sandman

My poems never are what I intend them to be at their birth.. but neither are we what our parents intend.

Hes made of things that go unseen
into the deep of night.
He saunters, slinks, slides and glides
not caring- wrong or right.
He taps upon your temples, yes,
when lids have just been closed,
and filters through your tainted thoughts
to rip, tear and steal your light
till all undone
with woe.

Dreams are always disappointing - either for showing you what you can't have, or reminding you of your waking problems. Still, occasionally they're fun to have. I love this piece! It has a bit of dark whimsy to it.
Thank you for sharing.

I love dreams! Rarely are they unsettling but when they are.. its awful. Generally i find them interesting and fun! But you do wake feeling as though you havent slept at all. Anyways, thank you for reading! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
