dread poems

Criquet le Leaper | Giancarlo

for in dejection
and in hopeless render
on a shaky bastion
I’d write me a letter

two months and more than three
my reality, thine rosy thorn
down, in spiral, can thy see
in impression, was I forlorn

for now, I lay, curled, asleep
tumble dreading, in slippery slope
dreaming, hoping, I can leap
away, toward, in hint of hope

a number of moons, I’d count
a fortnight of five periods in rain
inklings of miseries, oh they mount
blot like ink, tattooed like pain

conquered even the hopefuls
a stretched out, foreboding reality
this land, roamed, by deceitful
now, a broken heart, have I thee

wish I may, the months, I’d skip
else, force embraced all dread
if I could only, through time, I’d leap
towards the time I’ve already med

not one person, would like to be
in the clutch of a weary heart
in wish, leap the future and see
jump in time, for anew, a start

Nightmares | Craig Warburton

I go to bed and want to sleep
And wake up when alarm goes beep

Some nights they do just stay away
On others they come out to play

Bolt upright and grab my head
Screaming loudly in my bed

I’ve been attacked I’m pretty sure
I nearly break the bedroom door

To a mirror I must race
What has happened to my face?

Always dreading what I’ll see
A face that doesn’t look like me

Panic over all is well
For 2 mins it’s a living hell

What’s the cause…..will they be?
Always such a part of me

Counselling I had for free
Tried it once just to see

Hoped it was a wonder cure
The therapist just wasn’t sure

It doesn’t work for everyone
So no more sessions I was gone

Hynotherapy……worth a try?
Booked online, my hopes were high

I went along with open mind
Hoping answers I would find

His voice so quiet, he tried his best
I feared I’d be his hardest test

It didn’t work I’m sad to say
He couldn’t get my brain to play

No idea what else to try
A magic potion I would buy

To kill them off forever more
Room 101 and lock the door

So til the day they leave me be
They will not win and won’t beat me!
