    I just had a nightmare.I'm a chronic insomniac,I hardly sleep. And when I do,it scares me. I'm in cold sweat and just wrote a sequel to the poem I wrote a while back. Now that the dream is fresh.

     

    The Time server II

     

    Sleep my innocent nemesis drew my asylum

    Into the fiery flames of my mind's chamber

    Until I saw her in waking and dreaming snarl

    Her fangs,her claws,her maul

    I whimper.

     

    My bark is my sword,I chortle in retort

    I fear u none with my courageous fort

    Your stabs I dodge with blazened arrows

    I'm a marksman now,an archer's pride

    Come U may from surprise

    Squarely face you me done

    My fitful dreams crown my noose

    Cherished hour twisted loose

     

    I felt your bloodied whisper

    Curdle cold my futile veins

    Your black widowed spider chants

    Sisterhood into the cauldron

    Smear Smear Smear

    Only my good name here.

    Otherwise I lie awake.

     

    I'd never sleep again

    Not a minute,second, perchance

    To have another battle lost or won

    I sing truly in the tenderest whisper

    "Fraility,thy name is woman."

    The Time Server



    U said,my dreams were yours
    Sorrow left its grasp ago
    And so like an angel glided
    Wings I saw now discarded
    The heartfelt embrace imprinted
    Fingernails and strangled clasps.


    "Witch!"screamed them
    And cry U did, heaving
    Your muffled bitter curses
    Was it then U heard me
    My worthless gutless breathing
    I,the regal cream faced loon


    I could draw my swords
    Split them at your chest then
    Demanding soul,truce,integrity
    "Fraility,thy name is woman"
    Like Lucy in Dracula,I danced
    And perished at my own peril


    Four years later,none the great
    Did the girlish banter never exist
    U,the U i knew and yet did not
    Kissed u,my best friend,venom
    You breathed, a loving serpent.
    I choked,died and lie awake


    Sleep the innocent nemesis
    I see u,heard u rob again
    Like Gatsby in his wistful dream
    I saw u in waking and dreaming
    Sleep has bade me farewell
    Lady Macbeth to the stairwell.


    And yet,this unholy fairytale
    Fed my starving broken nature
    Lessons of faith,trust and love
    Bitter vengeance,a luxurious myth
    I loved u once,u hated twice
    I thank u still, for that price

    Lydia ..
    even though I'm a "night owl," when I do sleep, I usually sleep so deeply that there are no dreams at all .. unless I've eaten something that didn't agree with me, then the nightmares come .. this doesn't happen often, thankfully.
    The "Time Server" poems are very interesting tho' .. I've heard its good to write down something after dreams :)

    I like the Time Server Poems, it's a beautiful way of describing something horrid.
