    Nightmare

    steadfast at the street light

     

    afraid to cross the terrors night.

     

    For demons lurk, as You wait for day

     

    they taunt you, with death until you fall

     

    so stay quick  to what you hold, keep your eyes

     

    open to the light, and remember not to listen

     

    for death might snag your leg and the demons

     

    forever will recite.

    read it line by line and think of what the line means its a christian poem..... if that helps.... means if you let you faith go you could loose it all

    Different. Not really sure where the 'nightmare' part comes in. This piece just doesn't have the kind of flow one looks for in 'dark' poetry. To me 'dark' poetry is about presentation as much as it is about content. The last line..."death might snag your legand the demons forever to recite", what does that mean? Recite what? Just curious.

    the leg and are suppose to be spaced.... and i wrote it like that for a reason. means if you don't hold on to your faith and God then you could loose whats most important the light it a medifor. the nightmare comes in to saying that looseing God is like a nightmare this poem is more for the questioning i think Asylum would be better for you to read if u want ,,, its about insanity thanghks for reading my poem thou

    Social commentary? at least that's the vibe I am picking up. It's a good peace, and a great example about how length doesn't equal depth in writing.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
